 Laurentian University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laurentian University (Université Laurentienne), founded in 1960, is a mid-sized bilingual university in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, approximately 400 km north of Toronto.
The university has great ties with the mining industry, being one of the few schools in Canada offering mining engineering and the only Canadian university located in a city where the major industry is mining.
The university is also a key partner in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO), the world's deepest underground laboratory that has been providing, since 1998, new clues on the composition of the sun and the origins of the universe.

Given the overwhelming support of the Sudbury community, given the support of members of the Laurentian community, given my own personal interest and passion for music, I cannot allow music to be cut from offerings on our campus.
Overall financial arrangements between Laurentian University and the Federated Universities will need to be revisited and may need to be adjusted, particularly in light of any changes to the provincial funding formula which may be recommended by the Rae Review.
