Forty years ago, Memorial University of Newfoundland
began a journey to reach the farthest and most remote
corners of the province. Committed to serving all citizens,
it pushed the boundaries of technology, to increase
access and enhance the delivery of post-secondary
education.
Since the fall of 1969, Memorial’s distance education
offerings have made a tremendous impact on
Newfoundland and Labrador, and the lives of its students.
It’s university on their terms. Students have the choice to
pursue academic goals while minimizing interruptions to
work, family and life commitments.
The following pages contain stories from these students,
about the difference Memorial has made on their lives,
careers, families and communities. These stories illustrate
why distance education is their course of choice.
A SELECTION OF STORIES FROM DISTANCE LEARNERS
My name is Jeff Genge and I am working towards
completing my bachelor of technology degree. I live in
St. Barbe, Newfoundland and Labrador, on the great
northern peninsula. This is considered a remote part
of the island so distance education has been quite
accommodating to say the least in my quest for higher
learning.
I must admit, at first when I started taking online courses,
I was a little nervous. Maybe it was because it has been a
long time since I completed any post-secondary courses
and the amount of “individual” time that I would have to
put in. I can certainly say that distance education courses
have been what I wanted them to be, convenient and
actually more interactive with students and teachers alike.
I work offshore on a rotational schedule of three weeks on
and three weeks off. This is coupled with three small kids
who I devote the majority of my time to when I am home.
Distance education courses have allowed me the freedom
to choose when I “go to class” and the convenience of
completing assignments to best fit my schedule.
The people at distance education have made my
experiences pleasurable by being very courteous and
understanding whenhaving to change exam scheduling,
places and supervisors.
My entire experience has been very challenging and
stressful at times, but I have been successful up to this
point. I would definitely recommend distance education
to any aspiring students, new students, or anybody
who is looking for a challenge either to learn or further
themselves in a fast growing technological world.
As long as your organizational skills are sufficient, your
determination level is high, and you have the freedom
to plan your schedule to best suit your needs, distance
education may be your calling!

CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE 2002
Focus on governance in public companies
has never been sharper. We are proud
of our approach at High Liner. We are
committed to transparency and full, plain
and true disclosure. Our 104-year history
and our promising future depend on your
trust. High Liner has been recognized for
our efforts to embrace the spirit, in both
word and deed, of good corporate
governance (in the 2000 National Post
Annual Report Awards). We stay current
with corporate governance developments
and we are compliant with the TSX
Corporate Governance Guidelines.
High Liner’s complete Statement of Corporate Governance
Practices is included in the Information Circular of the
Company, prepared for the Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders to be held on May 1st
, 2003 at the World
Trade and Convention Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The Circular is dated March 17th
, 2003, and is available on
the Company’s web site at www.highlinerfoods.com.
A few highlights here, however, are deserving of mention.
With the exception of Henry Demone, our President
and Chief Executive Officer, all directors are unrelated.
Our Audit Committee has a written charter (available on
our web site) and is chaired by the Chief Executive
Officer of one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies
(for the 5th
consecutive year), a company that was also
recently named one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers in
MacLean’s Magazine.
Our Executive Compensation is reviewed and approved
by the Human Resources & Corporate Governance
Committee of the Board, composed of unrelated directors.
Executive Compensation has been under the jurisdiction of
this Committee for over a decade.
We have a formal, written disclosure policy (also on our
web site). It governs communications with analysts and
non-insiders, and contains trading rules, including black-
outs and quiet periods.
We broadcast our quarterly earnings calls in an open
forum. Any person can listen in by phone or webcast
and ask questions of senior management.
We stay ahead of financial reporting and governance
developments. Both our Chief Financial Officer and our
Corporate Controller are chartered accountants. Because
we operate in the United States and Canada, we monitor
developments in both countries and strive for “best
practice” in both reporting and governance. For example,
our 2002 Management Discussion & Analysis, starting on
page 13, was prepared in light of both OSC Rule 51-501
and proposed
National Instrument
51-102, recent SEC
proposals, and the
Management
Discussion and
Analysis: Guidance on
Preparation and Disclosure document issued in 2002
by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants.
Our Statement of Corporate Governance Practices
included in the 2002 Management Information Circular
includes discussion of our governance practices in light
of both the current TSX Guidelines and the proposed
amendments to those Guidelines published by the TSX
in 2002.
We typically do not wait for laws to be passed to do the
right thing. We know that building shareholder value
depends in large measure on our integrity, and we hope
we demonstrate that commitment throughout this Report.

controls. Audits measure adherence to established policies and procedures.

12 Strategic Plan: 2009-2013:
Government of Nova Scotia. Department of the Environment.
Graphic Designer, Art Director, Production Artist.
Strategic Plan: 2009-2013 Introduction
On November 22, 2007, the government announced its intention to transform the Department of Environment
and Labour into two departments:one devoted to labour and the other to the environment.
At first glance,this might seem like a straightforward process,but the truth is that Environment and Labour were
not simply two departments co-existing under one roof. They shared a minister, a deputy minister, a budget, a
policy division,an information and business services division,and a communications division.The priorities of
one helped shape those of the other.
While this structure was workable when Environment and Labour was created in 2000, much has changed.
Labour issues, such as the ongoing skills shortage, demand increasing attention, and environmental concerns
have risen to a level of prominence on the public agenda unseen in 20 years.
Nova Scotia Environment (NSE) is therefore the furthest thing from ‘business-as-usual’ under a different name.
NSE is a new department - a new department that is in the process of redefining itself.
What are the right goals and priorities for a new department focused exclusively on the environment? How can
we use our resources most effectively to achieve our goals? What needs to be tackled first and what can wait for
future years? What role does an environment department play in public life in 2008?
The new NSE has almost 300 employees with responsibilities that range from ensuring that multimillion-dollar
business projects are environmentally sound to seeing that a local community hall serves safe drinking water.
For NSE staff to work effectively as a team, they need to know what their colleagues are doing and how their
work contributes to the big picture. A working group was assembled in the summer of 2008 to begin putting
that picture together with the input of employees throughout the department. This plan represents their work.
NSE’s vision is the ultimate goal that we are all working toward and that all divisions can relate with. Our
vision is that Nova Scotia’s environment is healthy, well-managed, and supports prosperous communities.
In harmony with the Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperity Act and the province’s economic growth
strategy, Opportunities for Sustainable Prosperity, our vision states that the health of the economy and of the
environment are linked in a positive way.
NSE’s mission spells out how we will achieve our vision. It is essentially what we come to work to do every
day. Our mission is to assure that Nova Scotia Environment leads the way to ensure that our environment
is valued, protected, and enhanced in partnership with all Nova Scotians.
Our mission statement recognizes two key elements of modern environmental stewardship. The first is that
success is impossible unless the general public values the environment and is prepared to play a role in
protecting it. The second is that our department’s leadership role is more important than ever, both in
protecting the environment and in promoting awareness and interest among the public. This mission
statement affirms our enforcement and protection roles and highlights the need for NSE to provide leadership.
Our vision and mission statement focus on possibilities. Our specific goals were chosen because they represent
progress toward fulfilling our mission and achieving our vision. Each goal comes with a set of priorities that
define areas of effort that are fundamental to its success. To ensure our long-term success it is key that these
goals are interconnected and support one another.
Vision
Nova Scotia’s environment is healthy,well-managed,and supports prosperous communities.
Mission
Nova Scotia Environment leads the way to ensure that our environment is valued,protected,and enhanced in
partnership with all Nova Scotians.
Goal 1 is to achieve desired environmental outcomes. Although this goal seems obvious,we cannot lose
site of our most basic objective.
We have clear responsibilities under several Acts, the most fundamental being the Environment Act, and a duty
to ensure compliance with current laws and to keep these Acts and their regulations up to date.
The Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperity Act charts a clear path with specific outcomes and deadlines
for achieving them.
Goal 2 is to cultivate partnerships and environmental stewards. An informed and involved public is
essential to achieving our vision. This goal uses leadership,teaching,and collaboration in partnership with the
public to protect and enhance Nova Scotia’s environment.
Goal 3 is to enhance service delivery. Our goals are not achievable if our services are not delivered
effectively. Not only are our services integral to achieving good outcomes, but failure to deliver them
undermines the credibility we need to be the leaders in environmental stewardship.
Goal 4 is to develop dynamic instruments to deliver programs. A key part of service delivery is having
the right tools. Under this goal we will evaluate our operational and policy tools and continue to develop
new ones.
Goal 5 is to foster a winning workplace. A winning workplace requires continuous individual and
organizational development in response to changing and complex conditions and includes the creation
and maintenance of a supportive,people-oriented organizational culture.
Our strategic plan serves as a blueprint for what we want to achieve. The detailed consideration of actions,
or‘getting down into the weeds’,comes during the preparation of both annual business plans and operational
plans. Think of this strategic plan as a map for our planning over the next five years.
Achieve desired environmental outcomes
Nova Scotia Environment focuses on tackling climate change, protecting our environment, and advancing
our ambitious environmental goals. Those goals are embodied in a number of pieces of legislation including
the Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperity Act, Environment Act,Wilderness Act, Special Places Protection
Act,and Water Resources Protection Act.
Priorities
• Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperity Act (EGSPA) - Nova Scotia aims to be internationally recognized
for having one of the cleanest and most sustainable environments in the world by 2020. The Environmental Goals
and Sustainable Prosperity Act sets important targets in legislation to ensure we will achieve this commitment.
• Environment Act/Wilderness Areas Protection Act/Special Places Protection Act/Water Resources Protection Act -
These pieces of legislation provide the authority under which the environment is protected, enhanced,
and well-managed. The department continually strives to ensure that these Acts are current, appropriate,
and enforced.
• Climate Change and Adaptation - Climate change is real and is happening in Nova Scotia. It is not too late
to reduce emissions and adapt to a changing climate. Nova Scotia Environment takes its responsibility to
lead Nova Scotia’s response to climate change seriously.
Goal 1

This is considered a remote part of the island so distance education has been quite accommodating to say the least in my quest for higher learning. I must admit, at first when I started taking online courses, I was a little nervous. Maybe it was because it has been a long time since I completed any post-secondary courses and the amount of “individual” time that I would have to put in. I can certainly say that distance education courses have been what I wanted them to be, convenient and actually more interactive with students and teachers alike. I work offshore on a rotational schedule of three weeks on and three weeks off. This is coupled with three small kids who I devote the majority of my time to when I am home. Distance education courses have allowed me the freedom to choose when I “go to class” and the convenience of completing assignments to best fit my schedule. The people at distance education have made my experiences pleasurable by being very courteous and understanding whenhaving to change exam scheduling, places and supervisors. My entire experience has been very challenging and stressful at times, but I have been successful up to this point. I would definitely recommend distance education to any aspiring students, new students, or anybody who is looking for a challenge either to learn or further themselves in a fast growing technological world. As long as your organizational skills are sufficient, your determination level is high, and you have the freedom to plan your schedule to best suit your needs, distance education may be your calling! 16 page Booklet: Memorial University Distance Education.

HIGHLINERFOODS 5 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 2002 Focus on governance in public companies has never been sharper. We are proud of our approach at High Liner. We are committed to transparency and full, plain and true disclosure. Our 104-year history and our promising future depend on your trust. High Liner has been recognized for our efforts to embrace the spirit, in both word and deed, of good corporate governance (in the 2000 National Post Annual Report Awards). We stay current with corporate governance developments and we are compliant with the TSX Corporate Governance Guidelines. High Liner’s complete Statement of Corporate Governance Practices is included in the Information Circular of the Company, prepared for the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 1st , 2003 at the World Trade and Convention Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Circular is dated March 17th , 2003, and is available on the Company’s web site at www.highlinerfoods.com. A few highlights here, however, are deserving of mention. With the exception of Henry Demone, our President and Chief Executive Officer, all directors are unrelated. Our Audit Committee has a written charter (available on our web site) and is chaired by the Chief Executive Officer of one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies (for the 5th consecutive year), a company that was also recently named one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers in MacLean’s Magazine. Our Executive Compensation is reviewed and approved by the Human Resources & Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, composed of unrelated directors. Executive Compensation has been under the jurisdiction of this Committee for over a decade. We have a formal, written disclosure policy (also on our web site). It governs communications with analysts and non-insiders, and contains trading rules, including black- outs and quiet periods. We broadcast our quarterly earnings calls in an open forum. Any person can listen in by phone or webcast and ask questions of senior management. We stay ahead of financial reporting and governance developments. Both our Chief Financial Officer and our Corporate Controller are chartered accountants. Because we operate in the United States and Canada, we monitor developments in both countries and strive for “best practice” in both reporting and governance. For example, our 2002 Management Discussion & Analysis, starting on page 13, was prepared in light of both OSC Rule 51-501 and proposed National Instrument 51-102, recent SEC proposals, and the Management Discussion and Analysis: Guidance on Preparation and Disclosure document issued in 2002 by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants. Our Statement of Corporate Governance Practices included in the 2002 Management Information Circular includes discussion of our governance practices in light of both the current TSX Guidelines and the proposed amendments to those Guidelines published by the TSX in 2002. We typically do not wait for laws to be passed to do the right thing. We know that building shareholder value depends in large measure on our integrity, and we hope we demonstrate that commitment throughout this Report.

  • 5. 5 12 Strategic Plan: 2009-2013: Government of Nova Scotia. Department of the Environment. Graphic Designer, Art Director, Production Artist. Strategic Plan: 2009-2013 Introduction On November 22, 2007, the government announced its intention to transform the Department of Environment and Labour into two departments:one devoted to labour and the other to the environment. At first glance,this might seem like a straightforward process,but the truth is that Environment and Labour were not simply two departments co-existing under one roof. They shared a minister, a deputy minister, a budget, a policy division,an information and business services division,and a communications division.The priorities of one helped shape those of the other. While this structure was workable when Environment and Labour was created in 2000, much has changed. Labour issues, such as the ongoing skills shortage, demand increasing attention, and environmental concerns have risen to a level of prominence on the public agenda unseen in 20 years. Nova Scotia Environment (NSE) is therefore the furthest thing from ‘business-as-usual’ under a different name. NSE is a new department - a new department that is in the process of redefining itself. What are the right goals and priorities for a new department focused exclusively on the environment? How can we use our resources most effectively to achieve our goals? What needs to be tackled first and what can wait for future years? What role does an environment department play in public life in 2008? The new NSE has almost 300 employees with responsibilities that range from ensuring that multimillion-dollar business projects are environmentally sound to seeing that a local community hall serves safe drinking water. For NSE staff to work effectively as a team, they need to know what their colleagues are doing and how their work contributes to the big picture. A working group was assembled in the summer of 2008 to begin putting that picture together with the input of employees throughout the department. This plan represents their work. NSE’s vision is the ultimate goal that we are all working toward and that all divisions can relate with. Our vision is that Nova Scotia’s environment is healthy, well-managed, and supports prosperous communities. In harmony with the Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperity Act and the province’s economic growth strategy, Opportunities for Sustainable Prosperity, our vision states that the health of the economy and of the environment are linked in a positive way. NSE’s mission spells out how we will achieve our vision. It is essentially what we come to work to do every day. Our mission is to assure that Nova Scotia Environment leads the way to ensure that our environment is valued, protected, and enhanced in partnership with all Nova Scotians. Our mission statement recognizes two key elements of modern environmental stewardship. The first is that success is impossible unless the general public values the environment and is prepared to play a role in protecting it. The second is that our department’s leadership role is more important than ever, both in protecting the environment and in promoting awareness and interest among the public. This mission statement affirms our enforcement and protection roles and highlights the need for NSE to provide leadership. Our vision and mission statement focus on possibilities. Our specific goals were chosen because they represent progress toward fulfilling our mission and achieving our vision. Each goal comes with a set of priorities that define areas of effort that are fundamental to its success. To ensure our long-term success it is key that these goals are interconnected and support one another. Vision Nova Scotia’s environment is healthy,well-managed,and supports prosperous communities. Mission Nova Scotia Environment leads the way to ensure that our environment is valued,protected,and enhanced in partnership with all Nova Scotians. Goal 1 is to achieve desired environmental outcomes. Although this goal seems obvious,we cannot lose site of our most basic objective. We have clear responsibilities under several Acts, the most fundamental being the Environment Act, and a duty to ensure compliance with current laws and to keep these Acts and their regulations up to date. The Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperity Act charts a clear path with specific outcomes and deadlines for achieving them. Goal 2 is to cultivate partnerships and environmental stewards. An informed and involved public is essential to achieving our vision. This goal uses leadership,teaching,and collaboration in partnership with the public to protect and enhance Nova Scotia’s environment. Goal 3 is to enhance service delivery. Our goals are not achievable if our services are not delivered effectively. Not only are our services integral to achieving good outcomes, but failure to deliver them undermines the credibility we need to be the leaders in environmental stewardship. Goal 4 is to develop dynamic instruments to deliver programs. A key part of service delivery is having the right tools. Under this goal we will evaluate our operational and policy tools and continue to develop new ones. Goal 5 is to foster a winning workplace. A winning workplace requires continuous individual and organizational development in response to changing and complex conditions and includes the creation and maintenance of a supportive,people-oriented organizational culture. Our strategic plan serves as a blueprint for what we want to achieve. The detailed consideration of actions, or‘getting down into the weeds’,comes during the preparation of both annual business plans and operational plans. Think of this strategic plan as a map for our planning over the next five years. Achieve desired environmental outcomes Nova Scotia Environment focuses on tackling climate change, protecting our environment, and advancing our ambitious environmental goals. Those goals are embodied in a number of pieces of legislation including the Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperity Act, Environment Act,Wilderness Act, Special Places Protection Act,and Water Resources Protection Act. Priorities • Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperity Act (EGSPA) - Nova Scotia aims to be internationally recognized for having one of the cleanest and most sustainable environments in the world by 2020. The Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperity Act sets important targets in legislation to ensure we will achieve this commitment. • Environment Act/Wilderness Areas Protection Act/Special Places Protection Act/Water Resources Protection Act - These pieces of legislation provide the authority under which the environment is protected, enhanced, and well-managed. The department continually strives to ensure that these Acts are current, appropriate, and enforced. • Climate Change and Adaptation - Climate change is real and is happening in Nova Scotia. It is not too late to reduce emissions and adapt to a changing climate. Nova Scotia Environment takes its responsibility to lead Nova Scotia’s response to climate change seriously. Goal 1
