REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL
I would like to introduce the 1987/88 Annual Report by highlighting the
tenth anniversary of the Justice Institute. The JI was established in 1978 to
provide cost effective and quality recruit and advanced in-service training
for the major components of the justice and public safety system in British
Columbia. Ten years later the Institute is now serving a wide variety of
professionals and the public, and an enviable track record of innovative
program development and training delivery has evolved.
The divisional and financial reports in the 1987/88 Annual Report reflect
the continuing progress of the Institute as a leader in the field of justice
and public safety training and education. The Institute produced more
Student Training Days and at a lesser cost this year compared to last year,
thus maintaining a favourable trend. A new Centralized Registration
System was implemented to provide a more efficient method of handling
the increased volume of tuition-generating courses, seminars and
conferences.
On November 5, 1987, His Honour Judge Gerald Coultas, former Chief
Judge of the Provincial Court of BC, resigned as a member of the Board
of the Justice Institute, having served the Institute very generously since his
appointment on June 6, 1980. The Institute is very grateful for the wisdom
and insight that he provided. Judge Coultas was appointed to the Supreme
Court of BC in April 1988. We wish him well in all his future endeavours.
On December 18, 1987, the Institute and members of the police community
witnessed the unfurling of flags atop three flagpoles . These flagpoles,
original for the JI, were dedicated to the memory of Sergeant Larry
Young, killed in the line of duty earlier in the year. This moving ceremony
was a most fitting tribute to the former Police Academy instructor, and
was made possible by contributions from the staff at the Justice Institute
and the BC Buildings Corporation. Efforts for the completion of the
memorial were co-ordinated by Sergeant Bruce Halstead, Police Academy
Co-ordinator, and Bob Hull, Deputy Director of the Police Academy.
As will be illustrated in the following divisional reports, this has been
another busy and very successful year at the Justice Institute. Credit for
the achievements over the past year must go to the talented and dedicated
faculty, administration, support staff and Board of the Justice Institute to
whom I would like to express my gratitude, and with whom I am very
proud to be associated.

Bernard J. Doyle,
Principal

the delivery of timely and crooible professional development programs for people employed in the justice
and public safety system.

DIVISIONAL REPORTS
FISCAL YEAR 1987/88
management training needs and in locating suitable
training resources a Learning Resources Database was
established and distributed to all supervisors. This
database allows supervisors to select from a variety of
management courses offered throughout British
Columbia and in other locations.

CORRECTIONS ACADEMY
Overall productivity of the Corrections Academy
reached an all time high this year with a total production
of 98 separate courses resulting in 11,826 employee
training days. This level of production was achieved in
spite of the re-deployment of three instructional staff for
a three month period. A widely diversified training plan
was developed in conjunction with the Branch Staff
Training Committee and all courses were completed as
planned and within the allocated budget.

A wide variety of regional workshops were carried out
in areas such as update in youth services, update in family
services, update in adult probation, creative conflict
resolution, sexual harassment, and creative problem
solving. In addition to the courses offered by the
Corrections Academy and those offered directly in
regions, a large number of Corrections Branch staff were
able to participate in independent courses on a tuition
reimbursement basis. A total of 769 Branch employees
received tuition reimbursement for course taken through
regional colleges, institutes, and private training
organizations.

Security officer recruit training was a major priority
this year. A Corrections Branch study group was
established to review the delivery of recruit training and as
a result of this study a revised competency based
curriculum was developed for entry level security officers.
The curriculum project took place during the summer of
1987 and a pilot course was introduced in January 1988.
Prior to introduction of the pilot cour~e a number of
workshops were held to train field sup1:rvisors. The new
six week training program consists of two weeks of on-site
and four weeks of Corrections Academy training. The
new modular training design allows security officers from
both adult and youth institutions to take training at the
same time. As a result of a backlog of untrained security
officers in some institutions and an unexpectedly large
number of early retirements it was necessary to run
simultaneous recruit courses during January to March
1988 and increase the average class size from 22 to 28
officers.

In addition to regular course offerings, a number of
on-the-job training packages were distributed and updated
including the Corrections Administrations Records Entry
system training modules, the inmate trust accounting
system training modules, and the admin. support on the
job training manuals. In order to accommodate the
Branch's training needs in relation to computer systems, a
number of terminals were installed in one of the Justice
Institute classrooms and a series of programs were offered
in word processing and in the new probation records
system.
The highly successful Victim Services Conference was
held in November 1987 offering a wide variety of
mini-workshops with over 240 participants.

Two probation officer recruit courses were completed
this fiscal year, one in April and one in September,
however due to the impending privatization of family
services further recruit courses were not scheduled beyond
September 1987. As the field workload continued to
increase, it was arranged for the three Corrections
Academy community instructors to be temporarily placed
in field offices to assist with direct field services during the
period January to March 1988.

Two video productions were completed, one dealing
with the role of the probation officer and the other
focussing on the Young Offenders Act. Corrections Branch
staff continued to rely heavily on the services of the
Justice Institute Library with 1150 books borrowed, 300
audio visual items borrowed, and 1650 articles reprinted
from journals listed in the Library News which is
distributed to all Corrections units.

A new basic supervisory competency program was
designed and tested on a pilot basis. This course was the
result of an extensive analysis of supervisory skills and
competencies and the course was designed on a modular
basis with a total of 10 days being offered in two 5 day
components. An external evaluation of the program was
completed and the course has now been repeated six times
with excellent results and feedback. Additional
management programs were offered in the areas of media
relations, labour relations, contract management,
performance planning and review, and occupational
health and safety. To assist field managers in evaluating

Discussions continued with Correctional Services
Canada regarding the delivery of Federal Corrections
training through the Justice Institute. However, they
have not yet decided to contract their training to the
Institute.
The provision of training to corrections institutions
continues to be a problem due to the limited availability
of training relief dollars. The heavy investment of dollars
in recruit training and re-certification training leaves

14

II Program Services

almost no funding available for advanced training. This
problem needs to be addressed by the Branch, not only in
pursuing additional funding for training relief, but in
pursuing alternate training methods for advanced
training.

As a result of a decision reached at the end of last fiscal
year, the Program Services Unit has been directed to take
on a more entrepreneurial orientation. This has resulted
in the Unit pursuing more contractual work with justice
and public safety organizations outside the Institute (i.e.
Office of the Public Trustee, B. C. Public Gaming Branch,
Criminal Justice Branch, etc.). In addition to contract
services, the Unit was also involved in a number of
Institute assignments. Staff within the Unit has been
reduced to a Program Director and a secretary
complemented by individual contractors engaged as
required by the work volume. During 1987 /88 the
Program Services Unit undertook 12 contract services, six
Institute assignments, and an Institute-wide faculty
development program.

The year included many accomplishments including
both new curriculum designs in recruit training and
supervisory training as well as production of a large
number and variety of training courses. The high level
energy and creativity of training staff plus the cooperation
from field units has assisted in making this a year in which
significant results were achieved and all challenges were
met with enthusiasm and professionalism.

Corrections Academy

III Extension Programs
Over 5, 700 people participated in 231 programs offered
by Extension Programs . Interdisciplinary programs for
professionals, programs for the public and programs for
private security personnel resulted in 10,123 training days,
an increase of 8% over the previous year. The programs
covered a range of content including administration,
children and youth, conflict resolution, crime prevention,
family assault and sexual violence, intervention skills,
staff development, and victim services training.

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES
AND
EXTENSION PROGRAMS
DIVISION

Extension Programs co-sponsored programs with
several ministries, educational organizations, societies and
centres. In addition to the advertised programs, 42
contract courses were designed and delivered for
individual agencies and government ministries (such as
Corrections Services Canada, Ministry of Environment,
Union of B.C. Municipalities, Yukon Public Legal
Education Society and Greater Vancouver Mental Health
Services).

The Division continued through 1987 /88 to provide
education and training resource services to our academies
and a number of other justice and public safety groups on
a contract basis. Continued growth was also experienced
by the Extension Programs Unit through fee-for-service
interdisciplinary programs offered to professionals and
the public.

During the year, Extension Programs received grants
from the Ministry of Attorney General, Program Services
for training support to staff and volunteers of victim
services programs, and another grant for the development
of public education materials related to pornography.
The Police Services Branch of the Ministry of Attorney
General sponsored the development and delivery of 14
workshops throughout B.C. for pre school and child care
staff who will be receiving the Ministry's child sexual
abuse prevention kits for use with three to five year old
children (funding assistance for this project was also
provided by the Vancouver Foundation). The Ministry of
Attorney General, Police Services and Program Services
also sponsored a series of crime prevention workshops on
topics such as management skills for crime prevention
coordinators and working with delinquent youth, as well
as the development of training materials for community
police station volunteers.

In addition to the regular activities the Division was
also involved in restructuring the Court Services Academy
to operate as a unit within Educational Services,
developing and directing the new centralized registration
office; supporting and co-ordinating the Institute's
attempts to become actively involved in a major
marketing initiative.

I Media Centre
The Media Centre continued during the year to respond
to increasing demands from the academies to produce
more video training tapes. The quality remains high and
many of these tapes are valued as a major part of the
Institute's marketing initiative. Examples of some of the
tapes produced this year include: 'Patient Assessment',
'Auto Theft', 'Fire Safety', 'Canada's Probation
Officers', 'Commercial Mediation', and 'The Young
Offenders Act Update'. To support these efforts and
ensure continued quality with the changing technology a
new production camera and deck were purchased during
the year.

IV Resource Centre
Trends show a steady increase in most Resource Centre
activities, and consequently many tasks will soon be

VII Centralized Registration
To support a growing number of fee-for-service
programs being offered by Extension Programs and all
academies at the Institute, a new computerized central
registration office was established in September, 1987.
During the first seven months, over 3,000 students were
registered in 150 different courses.

automated. Book circulation increased by 30Jo to4,200and
circulation of audiovisual materials increased by 380Jo to
3,400, achieved with the help of a new automated
audiovisual reservation system. During the year, 5,200
clients visited the Resource Centre and 6,900 requested
information by phone. Native Indian Reserve fire
departments (75) continue to receive full library service
per a contract with the Department of Indian and
Northern Affairs. Resource Centre staff answered 4,600
reference questions (an increase of 50Jo over last year).
These included bibliographies and on-line database
searches on topics such as victims' services, gambling, and
emergency childbirth. The Resource Centre added 600
books and 82 A. V. titles during the year which is a
significant reduction because the constant dollar budgets
in the past few years have constrained acquisitions. The
fifth edition of our Audiovisual Catalogue was published
in August 1987. A microfiche reader and reader-printer
were donated to the Resource Centre by the B.C. Police
Commission.

VIII Marketing
An Institute-wide marketing committee was established
during the year. The Committee supported a summer
project to develop a JIBC copyright and contract manual,
piloted several marketing contracts with different agents,
and worked towards the selection of an overall marketing
agent to represent the Institute in all our marketing
endeavors. To accomplish the third effort, the
Committee has been working with the B.C. Purchasing
Commission to develop a 'Request for Proposal' to be
sent out in Spring 1988 to all organizations interested in
bidding on the opportunity to become the marketing
agent for the Institute.
Lawrence E. Goble
Dean, Educational Services and
Extension Programs Division
including Court Services Training

V Physical Education Services
This unit continued to provide professional services to
the Police Academy, Corrections Academy, Court
Services and Emergency Health Services.
The development of valid physical training based
programs became a reality through the completion of the
Police Officers' Physical Abilities Study. That study
reinforced the findings reported in both the Corrections
and Sheriff Officer's Physical Abilities Studies. The
Police Officer's Physical Abilities Test has received wide
acceptance across Canada within the police community.
This support was a direct result of the Canadian
Association of Chiefs of Police resolution to accept the
POPAT as the minimum standard for police recruits in
Canada. Police forces in the United States and other
countries have also demonstrated interest in the standard.
UBC, the Justice Institute of BC and the RCMP have
jointly completed a validation of the POPAT and results
will be published in 1988.

EMERGENCY HEALTH
SERVICES ACADEMY
The Training Plan and accompanying budget was cut to
its lowest level in five years. As a result many key
programs were cancelled or suspended and staff were laid
off. The training cuts were a result of the Emergency
Health Services Commission's need to contain costs,
recover from a difficult set of contract negotiations and to
establish a new Standards and Examination Body.
The attention paid to training during contract
negotiations between the Commission and CUPE local
873, especially over Recertification, illustrated how
important training is to both parties.

VI Court Services
In an effort to reduce overhead costs, the Court
Services Branch as of November 20, 1987, requested that
the Justice Institute transfer its programs and services to
the Educational Services Division for management and
co-ordination support. These programs and services were
previously run by the Court Services Academy with a
full-time Director. The Court Services Academy had
developed and managed a number of outside contract
programs which will in future be administered by the
Extension Programs Unit.

The reduced Training Plan provided some positive
consequences. It meant instructors could concentrate on
improving the quality of the remaining programs. With
the Commission assuming the testing function for its
Certification and Recertification courses, Academy staff
concentrated on the quality of their teaching. For four
years the Academy had assumed both roles, as teachers
and Recertification Examiners. This latter role had
affected the relationships between the instructors and
their students which could now be rebuilt.

The Court Services programs and services contracted
through Court Services Headquarters' Human Resource
Planning and Development will continue along with new
programs being developed for 1988/89.

The courses the Academy did offer, again played an
important part in improving the pre-hospital care in
British Columbia. Victoria received a much needed boost

16

to its understaffed Advanced Life Support Service.
Introducing the Automatic Defibrillator into fifteen
communities increased the chances of surviving a heart
attack in those communities. The increasing use of Air
Ambulances (fixed wing and helicopter) meant that the
Emergency Medical Assistants escorting often critically ill
patients required training. A cooperative effort by
Government Air, Canadian Forces Search and Rescue, a
physician advisor and Academy staff resulted in a course
which received compliments from Emergency Services
across Canada.

FIRE ACADEMY
The Fire Academy continues working in accordance
with the five year academic plan developed in 1984.
Budget constraints for the first four months of the fiscal
year resulted in the loss of some training and greatly
affected the development schedule of the academic plan.
Training and development conducted this year resulted
in 6,245 fire fighters taking training for 22,349 student
training days, an increase 65% over the previous year. This
increase is the result of greater accessibility to programs
due mainly to more programs and materials being
developed and being made available, primarily through
distance education and 'train-the-trainer' programs.

Cooperating with the Knowledge Network on our
Continuing Education program meant that we could bring
experts in Medicine, Nursing and Pre-hospital Care into
ambulance stations in large and small communities across
the Province. One topic, 'Hypothermia' was given to the
RCMP to be used for continuing education. Partly as a
result of this and the Academy's reputation for quality
programming, RCMP 'E' Division (British Columbia)
contracted the Academy to produce a First Responder
Course for its Members. It is anticipated that this course
will be adopted by the RCMP nationally and will serve as
a prototype for similar First Responder Courses for other
Justice and Public Safety Agencies.

While the Academy experienced problems in the
development and delivery of training, it took major steps
forward in other areas. One of these areas concerns the
Open Learning Agency whereby the Fire Academy
received a grant from the Open College Course
Development Fund. The program titled Fire Safety at
Work will be developed by the Academy in conjunction
with the Open Learning Agency.

Professional Health Programs was a major victim of
the cutbacks. For seven years this section had provided
Advanced and Basic Cardiac Life Support training for
health professionals in BC. During the six months the
program was halted the outcry was so extraordinary that
the Institute decided to resurrect the Advanced Cardiac
Life Support on a full cost recovery basis. Thanks to the
efforts of two very committed part time staff,
Professional Health Programs was able to offer a reduced
number of courses.

Another step forward involved the development of a
booklet titled 'Liability & Risk Management for the BC
Fire Service.' The booklet along with a 3 1/2 hour
presentation was prepared for the BC Fire Chiefs
conference held in Whistler. Requests to purchase the
booklet were received from across Canada and
throughout the USA and it was necessary to complete a
second printing of the booklet as IFSTA (International
Fire Service Training Association) purchased 2,500 copies
for marketing in the US.

A national conference for Emergency Physicians,
Nurses and Ambulance Personnel ("Emergency '88")
held in Vancouver relied heavily on the expertise of the
Institute. Many of the 700 participants commented on the
consistently high quality of instruction and materials.

In addition to marketing print materials and training
programs, the Academy marketed its expertise and was
contracted to conduct a feasibility study on training for
native fire fighters in Saskatchewan.
Several contracts for training were also completed this
year; the major contracts involved BC and Saskatchewan
Native Fire Fighters and Federal Corrections personnel.
In addition, cross systems training was conducted within
the Institute for other Academies.

While the Academy was able to maintain the quality of
its programs this year, the student training days dropped
drastically and our costs increased. Our student training
days dropped from 30,000 to 13,000. Student Training
day costs rose from $63. 72 to $85. 93 as we lost some
economies of scale and were left delivering the more costly
programs i.e. Recertification.

Of the many ongoing programs the Academy was
involved in this year, no activity kept staff busier than the
Volunteer Fire Fighter Certification Program. Admission
into the program increased to bring the total to 4,627
students which has increased the requests for examination
and evaluations. While the program placed greater
demands on the Academy than had been anticipated, it
also placed heavy demands on the 61 Volunteer
Evaluators in the field. The Evaluators throughout the
Province, who give so much of their time are certainly one
of the major reasons for the success of the program.

During the latter half of the year a renewed
commitment to training evolved and a Training Plan for
the next year began to take shape. In April the Academy
was given one of its largest and most well-supported
contracts thus far. In addition, it was asked to develop a
plan for the future which would prevent the events of the
past year from recurring.

Edukits too, are part of the reason for the program

police departments have come to rely on the Academy for
a range of ancillary staff development including entry
testing, assessment centre services, performance appraisal
systems, promotion examinations, research and
consultation services.

success. Unfortunately, the production of these guides
and videotapes has not been able to keep pace with the
program demand. This was partly due to the late
production start in the year along with the availability of
production staff. However, several units are in the final
stages of production and will be released early in the
new year. The Edukits about to be released will have a
new format. The new design is one which will assist the
training officer in the delivery of the material in a manner
more conducive to learning.

Police Officers Basic and General Training Program
After a quiet post Expo '86 period last year, recruit
training rebounded significantly with 92 new police
officers entering the Academy for the first time. Through
the year 101 members returned for Block IV and V training
who, together with those receiving their basic training,
generated 10,015 recruit level student training days.

The Training and Education Program for the
Professional Fire Service also experienced an increase in
admissions to 1,618 students. While development was
completed in some of the programs, new programs were
introduced and made available to the Fire Service. The
Winter semester, January- March 1988, saw the
introduction of Fire Administration Officer and Fire
Prevention Inspector.

Graduation ceremonies were held for members of Class
#34 on May 8th to recognize the successful completion of
thirty-two weeks of continuous training. Class #35
consisting of 20 members graduated on December 18th.
Class 36 completed the Peace Officers Basic Training
Program (Block Ill) and received their badges from Chief
Constable Bob Stewart at formal graduation ceremonies
on February 10th. Included in this Class of 25 Vancouver
Police Department recruits were four members of
minority groups.

Although only full time fire officers are eligible for
certification in this program, different Blocks of study
were made available to the Industrial Fire Fighters.
In a like manner, the Academy working with Extension
programs, has made certain subjects available, on a
tuition basis, to the public. Also, distance education
programs such as Training Officer and Fire Prevention
Inspector have been made available to both paid and
volunteer personnel.

Advanced Program
A number of special interest programs were conducted
and new courses introduced this year reflecting the
changing nature of policing and trends in society. Among
these were a Child Abuse Investigators workshop
conducted for municipal police and RCMP on Vancouver
Island. This very successful three day program attracted
34 participants and will be conducted for Mainland
personnel in 1988.

Training in the field got off to a late start. However,
the Academy was able to deliver 30 weekend field training
sessions compared to fifteen sessions in previous years.
One area of major concern and a restriction to training
has been the discontinuance of live fire training. It was
necessary to stop this training in structures for safety
reasons. Academy programs this year reached the stage
requiring hands on training evolutions and live fire
experience. However, Treasury Board declined to support
the capital development this year.

A two-day Labour Relations Seminar, with several high
profile resource persons, including Jim Matkin, proved
very interesting and worthwhile as it explored the current
labour climate and its potential impact on policing.

The Academy has worked towards the development of
training through the Train-The-Trainer Program. Also,
work commenced on the development of a Community
Instructor program throughout BC. It is anticipated that
this will be introduced early in 1988.

Several seminars dealing with adaptation to shift work
were provided for members and their spouses addressing
the importance of diet, exercise and general lifestyle.
Recognizing the need for refresher training where the
use of the police baton is concerned, a four day Baton
Instructors course was developed and conducted so that
this standard method and technique can be taught within
departments.

POLICE ACADEMY

Perhaps the most popular new training initiative was a
seminar dealing with the phenomenon of Outlaw
Motorcycle Gangs which attracted 186 police officers.
This will be offered soon on Vancouver Island.

The Police Academy is the focal point of Municipal
police training in this province from the initial entry level
onward and upward throughout the career structure,
including its role as co-ordinator for the allocation of

After several months of research and course
development, including a visit to major Western Canadian
Police Departments, a pilot Uniform Crime Reporting
Train the Trainers Program was conducted for 18 UCR

18

supervisors from those forces and municipal departments
in BC. A comprehensive manual was prepared for this
program and will become the basis for a national training
program through the sponsorship of the Canadian Centre
for Justice Statistics. The pilot course was very successful
and will no doubt prompt further contracts in relation to
course development at various levels within the continuum
of police training.
Among other Advanced Programs of special note
conducted during the past year were two Instructors'
Clinics for occasional resource instructors to improve
their instructional techniques and a two week Major
Crime course complete with simulated crime scene staged
with professional actors at a downtown hotel. Contract
instruction for telecommunication operators employed by
the Louis Bull Police, Hobbema, Alberta was conducted
on the Reserve. This one week course was the first
training program for members of this newly formed
independent Band Police Department and was
enthusiastically received. A further two day program
dealing with officer safety was developed and conducted
for this department.
ICBC and BC Tel investigators, a new client group, was
added to our contract training program, through a one
week general investigation course specially designed to
meet their needs.
An overall review of Advanced Programs indicates a
healthy interest and demand that called for 84 courses
generating 5,193 student training days.
Research, Development and Assessment
Program Developer, Ingrid Pipke and Administrator,
Kris Bjornerud, presented a paper on 'Managing, Storing
and Retrieving Assessment Centre Information: Making
your Data Base Work for You' to the 15th International
Conference on the Assessment Centre Method in Boston.
A new information and retrieval system is structured to
facilitate enquiries, data descriptions and crossreferencing on all aspects of the Assessment Centre
program.
The Assessment Centre service, so vital to both the
initial selection of police officers and subsequently to the
promotional selection process, placed heavy demands on
the Administrator. Fourteen centres were conducted plus
four training programs for Assessors. Without the
generous support of the client police departments who
provide senior personnel as Assessors and Assistant
Administrators, this unique service would have to be
discontinued.

AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Members of the Board of
The Justice Institute of British Columbia
We have examined the balance sheet of the Justice Institute of British Columbia as at March 31, 1988 and the
statements of revenues, expenditures and fund balances, changes in fund balances - special purpose fund and equity
in fixed assets for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, and accordingly included such tests and other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly the financial position of the Institute as at March 31, 1988
and the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with the basis of accounting described in note
2 applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
The budget information included in these financial statements has not been audited by us.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 1988
1.

GENERAL

The Justice Institute of British Columbia (the Institute) is a post-secondary educational institution established in
1978 by the Province of British Columbia (the Province) under the provisions of the College and Institute Act. The
Institute provides training in justice and public safety throughout the Province.
2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fund Accounting
In order to ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of resources available to the
Institute, such resources are classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds according to the activities or
objectives specified.
Fixed Assets
The Institute occupies, without rental charge, land and buildings owned by the B.C. Buildings Corporation.
Fixed asset expenditures made by the Institute, including the cost of improvements and expansions of the buildings,
are recorded as current expenditures to the Operating Fund and transferred at cost to the Capital Fund.
Fixed assets are stated at cost in the Capital Fund with a corresponding credit to equity in fixed assets.
Depreciation is not provided on fixed assets, but fixed assets are written off when disposed of or no longer used by
the Institute.
Seconded Salaries
The salaries and benefits of seconded Corrections, Court Services and Emergency Health Services Academies'
staff are included in these financial statements as revenue and as a corresponding expense. Although these funds are
issued directly from the Province to the individuals and do not flow through the bank account of the Institute, they
are considered part of the overall operations of the Institute. The seconded salaries (which were also added to the
budgeted figures) are as follows:

PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT

Last year, the Institute did not record the transfer of the sinking fund relating to a 16.8750/o debenture when it was
converted to the 9% debenture. Accordingly, the sinking fund principal payments and interest earned on the 16.8750Jo
debenture have been recorded on a retroactive basis as relating to the 9% debenture.
