BOARD CHAIR AND PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE 8

Board Chair and President’s Message On behalf of the Board of Governors and staff of North West College, we are pleased to submit the annual report and audited financial statements for this fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. 2018/19 was a time of innovation for the College. As Board and Management of the College, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our staff for their dedication and commitment to our students and to the continued economic sustainability of the communities we call home. The College strived to innovate in program delivery, labour force attachment and organizational sustainability. One of the most significant developments of 2018/19 was the renewal of the business case for the construction of a new campus in the Battlefords. Over the course of the 2018/21 Strategic Plan, the College will continue to move forward on the institutional priority to create a community-based hub for post-secondary education and human/social services, by further engaging with our stakeholders throughout 2020/21. The progress made on this project and all others in 2018/19 could not have been achieved without the continued support of the friends and partners of North West College. These collaborations enable our College to foster wellness, engage in public education and lead positive social change in our region, province and country. Thank you for your continued support,

Jay Notay President & CEO

SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS 14

Summary of Programs

Summary of Enrollment of 2018/19

In 2018/19, programs at North West College shifted and innovated to meet the needs of our communities and local businesses. This attention resulted in a sharp increase in on-reserve Institute Credit programs, with programs such as Continuing Care Assistant, Food Service Cook, Office Administration, and Retail Meat Specialist being offered in communities such as Big River First Nation, Waterhen Lake First Nation, Big Island Lake Cree Nation, Beardyâ€™s and Okemasis Cree Nation and Thunderchild First Nation.

In 2018/19 North West served 2580 students or 885.4 full-load equivalents (FLEs) in University, Skills Training and Adult Basic Education programming, a 40 FLE increase year over year. Table 1 presents a summary of enrollment with a comparison to 2017/18.

The year-end results would reveal a healthy increase in the number of training days, specifically for programs with longer durations and weightier credentials. This trend helps to explain the impressive gains in the full load equivalent numbers year over year, with an additional 40 Full Load Equivalent students being reported in 2018/19. North West also saw a slight decrease (158 enrollments or 15% in comparison to 2017/18) in 1-2 day safety ticket enrollments. This decrease affected the overall enrollment numbers because they are based on distinct enrollments rather then program hours.In other words, the College had about 150 fewer students take one-day tickets, but 40 more take year-long programs than in 2017/18.

SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS 16

Adult Basic Education Over 900 students were served through ABE programming at North West College. Of the students registered, 87% self-declared as Indigenous with over 60% identifying as female. ABE is the foundation of our College programming. The successes achieved in ABE works to build student confidence and through individualized program planning, leads to post-secondary graduation and successful conversion from student to skilled employee. Trimester Model Improves Long-term Success North West’s average student is a single mother in her late twenties supporting 1-2 children. Structural barriers such as family illness, child care instability and unreliable transportation often stand in the way of student success. With the support of Student Services, many of these students can arrange for two-to-three months of uninterrupted school time. One way that North West serves these students is with the trimester model. Piloted in 2017/18, the trimester has now been implemented for all ABE programs in the Battlefords. This format allows students to take fewer courses at a given time in an intensive format, so if a student chooses to leave the program for personal reasons and return at a later date, they do so with credits completed, allowing them to move forward with their educational goals.

BRINGING NEW MEANING TO ‘WRAP-AROUND’ SUPPORT One Example of the Star Blankets produced by the Leoville Level 4 class. The Star Blanket Project is just one example of the Work Integrated Learning approach being executed at North West College program sites both on and off campus. Making learning tangible is critical to success for the mature learner.

32 programs offered off-campus 27% students study off-campus

Star Blankets Weave Indigenous Culture and Entrepreneurship In 2018/19 the Leoville Level 4 class completed a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) project with a strong emphasis on entrepreneurship. Students designed the baby star blanket business case, created and marketed the blankets. Partnering with a quilt shop in Spiritwood, the students’ blankets were then sold to customers. This integration of real work made the learning outcomes more relevant to the students. The project weaved and integrated learning outcomes from Entrepreneurship 30, Workplace and Apprenticeship Math 30 and English A30 & B30. Essential Skills and Local Shelter – Community-Based Work Integrated Learning Another way that North West ensures ABE student success is through Essential Skills for the Workplace (ESWP) programs. In February of 2019, North West ran an ESWP program that focused on food preparation in partnership with The Lighthouse in North Battleford built entirely on the principles of work integrated learning. These students bring together learning with practical skill application along with community service. Students all had an opportunity to budget, menu plan, shop, prepare and serve food. This particular WIL project had value added outcomes due to the nature of the delivery such as dealing with real customers, team dynamics, conflict resolution and the value of communication. Our students prepared food on site in The Lighthouse kitchen and fed the patrons daily offering a community-based solution in program delivery. NORTH WEST COLLEGE • 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT

SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS 18

The Lighthouse Partnership was one of eight ESWP programs offered in 2018/19. A program specializing in maintenance was run in partnership with the rural municipality of Loon Lake, Meadow Lake Campus hosted one focused on Early Childhood Education and another of hospitality. At the Battlefords Campus, the ESWPs focused on Automotive Skills, Food Prep, Pre-Trade Preparedness, Home Repair for Women and Youth and Low Literacy and Newcomers. English as an Additional Language – Meeting the Demand As one of the major immigration sites in the province, EAL and new Canadian services are critical for the College to meet the needs of our region. In 2018/19 North West’s EAL program continued to thrive. North West offered EAL LINC programs in the communities of North Battleford and Rosthern. Conversation Circles were held in Meadow Lake, Rosthern, Spiritwood and Unity. EAL courses continue to be offered both during the day and in the evening to accommodate the full-time work schedule of many students. Table 2.

University

Training the leaders of tomorrow North West offers a variety of university courses through both the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Regina. These courses boast small class sizes and high student-toteacher ratios. University students at North West also benefit from value-added services such as lunch & learn sessions, study skills seminars and tutoring services. This individual attention along with the personal and financial benefits of studying at home are major factors in our high completion rate and our stable university enrollment. Starting a university program at North West is the first step to obtaining a valuable degree and transitioning to a professional field.

Bachelor of Education Program – Northern Teachers for Northern Communities In 2018/19, North West partnered with the University of Saskatchewan to offer the College’s fourth Bachelor of Education cohort program at our Meadow Lake Campus. The program has 24 students enrolled and an additional five registered in the Bachelor of Arts and Sciences courses only. The Bachelor of Education at Meadow Lake Campus is a critical program for the community as educators from the north who train in the north are much more likely to stay in the north.

North West Supports: • In 2018/19 North West supported 172 students in Institute Credit and University programs with Scholarships totaling $97,200. This included entrance scholarships, donor-based scholarships and bursaries based on a combination of academic achievement, demonstrated leadership skills and good citizenship. • This program was generously supported by the Saskatchewan Innovation and Opportunity Scholarship Program administered by the Ministry of Advanced Education and our many local donors.

Public Lectures North West seeks out opportunities to work with post-secondary partners to bring all educational opportunities to our region. In April 2019, North West College partnered with the University of Regina to put on a free public lecture at the Battlefords Campus. Tareq Hadhad, Syrian refugee, immigration advocate and entrepreneur shared his story of immigration and the successful growth of his family business Peace By Chocolate. The evening event was well received and sparked a healthy discussion about cultural integration and immigration.

Student Services Meeting the Need North West provides significant support to students and employers through our Student Services team. From individual program planning including educational pathways to personal support and job coaching, North West understands that our students’ personal wellness is foundational to academic success. With a lower educational attainment rate than the provincial average, the North West catchment area has a higher need for ABE supports and learning disability services. In 2018/19 the one Learning Resource Consultant which serves the entire region and the 24 service sites accessed nearly $82,000 in resources for our students. The needs are high and our limited student services staff work tirelessly to provide critical services to student success.

North West Provides:

• - Daycare spots allotted to the Battlefords, Meadow Lake and Duck Lake sites. • - Student Residence contains 40 suites and 96 bedrooms to support students and their families at the Meadow Lake Campus. In the summer of 2019, North West College hosted the Athletes Village for the Saskatchewan Indigenous Summer Games, we were also a major sponsor, providing volunteer hours and training the event’s catering staff in safe food handling and customer service. • - Pictured below, Student Services staff at the Be Well Wednesday booth at the Battlefords Campus. Just one way Student Services supports mental health and develops community at the College.

Providing job coaching for all students and work placement in 75% of our programs, North West College is connected to our communities. In 2018/19, 38% of our students were able to attend the College because of relationships fostered by North West staff and leadership. Students taking contract programs, students under 22 years of age participating in ABE and students supported by our partnering First Nations consistently represent over 1/3 of our student population. These partnerships and relationships are not only critical to the College’s sustainability but to the personal success of every student given an opportunity to study with us.

Student Achievement

Inclusive Learning

2012 marked the tipping point wherein the College served more Indigenous learners than nonIndigenous. This proportion has continued to grow sitting at 59% in 2018/19. This remains significantly higher than the regional proportional representation which sits at approximately 35%. This tremendous representation of Indigenous learners is due in large part to the close partnerships the College maintains with First Nation organizations and agencies within the region. In 2018/19, North West College guided 86 Indigenous learners to Level 4 graduation and graduated 141 Indigenous skilled workers.

IT Investment

In 2018/19, North West’s investment in technology equipment is critical to enhance the learning experience for our students and provide adequate technology for our staff to aid providing quality education. Technology is ever changing and North West is looking to stay on top while maintaining costs.

Space Constraints During the 2018/19 year North West delivered seven programs off-site in leased space in the Battlefords. North West values its partnerships with industry to deliver programs and services that are not possible in the current facility. While partnerships continue to thrive, adequate programming space remains one of North West’s biggest challenges.

Risk Management Internal audits were introduced during the 2018/19 year. The goal around internal audits, is to heighten the awareness of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), while reviewing policies, processes and other internal controls in place. Internal audits are one of the ways North West looks to mature ERM awareness throughout the organization. NORTH WEST COLLEGE • 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT

NORTH WEST COLLEGE • 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT

The Board of Directors North West College North Battleford, Saskatchewan Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the North West College, which comprise the statement of financial position as at June 30, 2019, the statements of operations and accumulated surplus, changes in net financial assets, and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of North West College as at June 30, 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the North West College in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the North West College’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the organization or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the organization’s financial reporting process.

MANAGEMENT REPORT

 Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the organization‘s internal control.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the organization‘s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the organization to cease to continue as a going concern.

 Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY North West College offers educational services and programs under the authority of Section 14 of The Regional Colleges Act. The mission of North West College is to provide adult learning opportunities and to promote life-long learning as a means of enhancing the cultural, economic and social life of the individuals and communities it serves. The Board of the North West College is responsible for administering and managing the educational affairs of the College in accordance with the intent of the Regional Colleges Act and its regulations. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES As a government not-for-profit organization, the College prepared these financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards (PSA standards). (a) Measurement Uncertainty and the Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with PSA standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Uncertainty in the determination of the amount at which an item is recognized or disclosed in financial statements is known as measurement uncertainty. Such uncertainty exists when there is a variance between the recognized or disclosed amount and another reasonably possible amount. Measurement uncertainty that may be material to these financial statements exists for: •

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (a) Measurement Uncertainty and the Use of Estimates (continued) These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known. While best estimates are used for reporting items subject to measurement uncertainty, it is reasonably possible that changes in future conditions, occurring within one fiscal year, could require material changes in the amounts recognized or disclosed. (b) Financial Instruments Financial instruments create rights and obligations to receive or deliver economic benefits. Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, portfolio investments, accrued salaries and benefits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long term debt. Financial instruments are assigned to one of two measurement categories: fair value, or cost or amortized cost. i.

Fair Value Fair value measurement applies to portfolio investments in equity instruments that are quotes in an active market. Unrealized changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of remeasurement gains and losses until they are realized, at which time they are transferred to the statement of operations. There is no statement of remeasurement gains and losses included since there were no unrealized changes in fair value. Fair value is determined by: Level 1 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly, (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3 inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) When a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, the amount of the loss is removed from any accumulated remeasurement gains and reported in the statement of operations.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (b) Financial Instruments (continued) ii.

Cost or Amortized Cost All other financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at cost or amortized cost. Transaction costs are a component of cost for financial instruments measured using cost or amortized cost. For financial instruments measured using amortized cost, the effective interest rate method is used to determine interest revenue or expense. Impairment losses such as write-downs or write-offs are reported in the statement of operations.

(c) Foreign currency translation Foreign currency transactions are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities, and non-monetary items included in the fair value measurement category denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the financial statement date. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in the statement of remeasurement gains and losses until they are realized, at which time they are transferred to the statement of operations. (d) Financial Assets Financial assets are assets that could be used to discharge existing liabilities or finance future operations and are not for consumption in the normal course of operations. Valuation allowances are used where considered necessary to reduce the amounts reported for financial assets to their net realizable value. Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of cash, bank deposits and highly liquid investments with initial maturity terms of three months or less and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term operating cash commitments rather than for investing purposes. Accounts Receivable is shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected net recoverable value. Valuation allowances are recorded where recovery is considered uncertain. Changes in valuation allowances are recorded in the statement of operations.

(e) Liabilities (continued)

Inventories for Resale consist of books and promotional items which are held for sale in the ordinary course of operations and are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by using the first in, first out method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business.

Deferred revenue from government transfers represents restricted grants with stipulations that give rise to a liability for which the stipulations have not yet been fulfilled. The revenue is recognized as the stipulation liabilities are settled. Deferred revenue from non-government sources represents revenue related to fees or services received in advance of the fee being earned or the services being performed, and other contributions for which the contributor has placed restrictions on the use of the resources. Tuition and fee revenue is recognized as the course is delivered, revenue from contractual services is recognized as the services are delivered, and revenue from other contributions is recognized in the fiscal year in which the resources are used for the purpose specified.

Portfolio Investments consist of a scholarship guaranteed investment certificate with SunLife and equity with Innovation Credit Union. Equity investments quoted in an active market are reported at fair value and any associated transaction costs are expensed upon initial recognition. Gains and losses on portfolio investments measured at fair value are recorded in accumulated surplus as remeasurement gains and losses until realized. Upon disposition of the investments, the cumulative re-measurement gains and losses are reclassified to the statement of operations. All other portfolio investments are reported at cost or amortized cost, which includes the associated transaction cost upon initial recognition, less any write-downs for a loss in value that is other than a temporary decline. Gains and losses on financial instruments measured at cost or amortized cost are recognized in the statement of operations in the period the gain or loss occurs. (e) Liabilities Liabilites are present obligations arising from transactions and events occurring prior to year-end, which will be satisfied in the future through the use of assets or another form of economic settlement. Accrued Salaries and Benefits represents salaries and benefits owing to or on behalf of work performed by employees, but not yet paid, at the end of the fiscal period. Amounts are payable within one year. Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities owing to third parties for goods supplied and services rendered, but not yet paid, at the end of the fiscal period. Amounts are payable within one year.

NORTH WEST COLLEGE â€˘ 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT

Liability for Employee Future Benefits represents accumulating non-vesting sick leave benefits that accrue to the Collegeâ€™s employees. The cost of these benefits is recorded as the benefits are earned by employees. The liability relating to these benefits is actuarially determined using the projected benefit method pro-rated on service and managementâ€™s best estimate of expected sick leave usage, discount rate, inflation, salary escalation, termination and retirement rates and mortality. Actuarial gains and losses are amortized on a straight line basis over the expected average remaining service life of the related employee groups. Actuarial valuations are performed periodically. Extrapolations of these valuations are made when a valuation is not done in the current fiscal year. Long-Term Debt is comprised of capital loans and other long-term debt with initial maturities of more than one year. (f) Non-Financial Assets Non-financial assets are assets held for consumption in the provision of services. These assets do not normally provide resources to discharge the liabilities of the College unless they are sold.

(g) Employee Pension Plans

Tangible Capital Assets have useful lives extending beyond the accounting period, are used by the College to provide services to the public and are not intended for sale in the ordinary course of operations. Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost and include all costs directly attributable to the acquisition, design, construction, development, installation and betterment of the tangible capital asset. The College does not capitalize interest incurred while a tangible capital asset is under construction. Contributed tangible capital assets are recorded at their fair value at the date of receipt.

Employees of the College participate in the following pension plans:

The cost of depreciable tangible capital assets, net of any residual value, is amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: Buildings Furniture and equipment Computer hardware Computer software Vehicles System Development Land Improvements

20 to 50 years 3 to 10 years 3 years 5 years 5 years 10 years 5 years

Tangible capital assets are written down when conditions indicate that they no longer contribute to the College’s ability to provide goods and services, or when the value of future economic benefits associated with the tangible capital assets are less than their net book value. Write-downs are accounted for as expenses in the statement of operations. Assets that have a historical or cultural significance, such as works of art and other cultural artifacts, are not recognized as tangible capital assets because a reasonable estimate of future benefits associated with these properties cannot be made. Prepaid Expenses are prepaid amounts for goods or services, insurance premiums, membership fees, Workers’ Compensation premiums and software licenses which will provide economic benefits in one or more future periods. The prepaid amount is recognized as an expense in the year the goods or services are consumed.

NORTH WEST COLLEGE • 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT

Multi-Employer Defined Benefit Plans The College’s employees participate in one of the following multi-employer defined benefit plans: i) Teachers and other employees holding a teaching certificate participate in either the retirement plan of the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Retirement Plan or Saskatchewan Teachers Superannuation Plan (STSP). The College’s obligation for these plans is limited to collecting and remitting contributions of the employees at rates determined by the plans. ii) Other employees participate in the Municipal Employees’ Pension Plan (MEPP). In accordance with PSA standards, the plan is accounted for as a defined contribution plan whereby the College’s contributions are expensed when due. (h) Revenue Recognition Revenues are recorded on the accrual basis. Revenues are recognized in the period in which the transactions or events occurred that gave rise to the revenues, provided the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. The College’s major sources of revenue include the following: i) Government Transfers (Grants) Grants from governments are considered to be government transfers. Government transfers are recognized as revenues when the transfer is authorized, all eligibility criteria have been met, the amount can be estimated and collection is reasonably assured except when, and to the extent that, stipulations by the transferor give rise to an obligation that meets the definition of a liability. Eligibility criteria are criteria that the College has to meet in order to receive the transfer. Stipulations describe how the College must use the transfer or the actions it must perform in order to keep the transfer.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (h) Revenue Recognition (continued) i) Government Transfers (Grants) (continued) Government transfers with eligibility criteria but without stipulations are recognized as revenue when the transfer is authorized and all eligibility criteria have been met. Government transfers with or without eligibility criteria but with stipulations are recognized as revenue in the period the transfer is authorized and all eligibility criteria have been met, except when and to the extent that the stipulations give rise to a liability. Restricted transfers are recognized as deferred revenue when transfer stipulations give rise to a liability. Stipulations by the transferor may require that the funds only be used for providing specific services or the acquisition of tangible capital assets. For transfers with stipulations, revenue is recognized in the statement of operations as the stipulation liabilities are settled. ii) Fees and Services Revenues from tuition fees and other services are recognized in the year they are earned. Amounts that are restricted pursuant to legislation, regulation or agreements with external parties that may only be used in the conduct of certain programs or in the delivery of specific services and transactions are initially recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized as revenue in the fiscal year the related expenses are incurred or services are performed. iii) Interest Income Interest is recognized on an accrual basis when it is earned.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (h) Revenue Recognition (continued) iv) Other (Non-Government Transfer) Contributions Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year received or in the year the funds are committed to the College if the amount can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Externally restricted contributions are contributions for which the contributor has placed restrictions on the use of the resources. Externally restricted contributions are deferred until the resources are used for the purpose specified, at which time the contributions are recognized as revenue. Inkind contributions are recorded at their fair value when they are received. (i) Expenses Expenses are reported on an accrual basis. The cost of all goods consumed and services received during the year are expensed. (j) Contingent liabilities Contingent liabilities are potential liabilities which may become actual liabilities when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. To the extent that the future event is likely to occur or fail to occur, and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made, an estimated liability is accrued and an expense recorded. If the likelihood is not determinable or an amount cannot be reasonably estimated, the contingency is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. (k) Adoption of new accounting policy On July 1, 2018, the College adopted the following new standards: i) PS3430 Restructuring Transactions, which is a new standard on how to account for and report restructuring transactions by transferors and recipients of assets and/or liabilities. The adoption of the new standard has been on a prospective basis, without restatement of prior period comparative amounts. The accounting changes had no impact on the current year financial statements.

14. EMPLOYEE PENSION PLANS Multi-Employer Defined Benefit Plans Information on the multi-employer pension plans to which the College contributes is as follows: i) Saskatchewan Teachers’ Retirement Plan (STRP) or Saskatchewan Teachers’ Superannuation Plan (STSP): The STRP and STSP provide retirement benefits based on length of service and pensionable earnings. The STRP and STSP are funded by contributions by the participating employee members and the Government of Saskatchewan. The College’s obligation to the STRP and STSP is limited to collecting and remitting contributions of the employees at rates determined by the plans. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include any expense for employer contributions to these plans. Net pension assets or liabilities for these plans are not reflected in these financial statements as ultimate responsibility for retirement benefits rests with the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation for the STRP and with the Government of Saskatchewan for the STSP. Details of the contributions to these plans for the College’s employees are as follows: 2019 2018 STRP STSP TOTAL TOTAL Number of active College members 18 2 20 19 Member contribution rate (percentage of salary) 10.44% 7.37% Member contributions for the year $ 105,288 $ 10,690 $ 115,978 $ 139,805

NORTH WEST COLLEGE • 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT

Multi-Employer Defined Benefit Plans (continued) ii) Municipal Employees’ Pension Plan (MEPP) The MEPP provides retirement benefits based on length of service and pensionable earnings. The MEPP is funded by employer and employee contributions at rates set by the Municipal Employees’ Pension Commission. Every three years, an actuarial valuation is performed to assess the financial position of the plan and the adequacy of plan funding. Any actuarially determined deficiency is the responsibility of the participating employers and employees which could affect future contribution rates and/or benefits. The contributions to the MEPP by the participating employers are not segregated in separate accounts or restricted to provide benefits to the employees of a particular employer. As a result, individual employers are not able to identify their share of the underlying assets and liabilities, and the net pension assets or liabilities for this plan are not recognized in these financial statements. In accordance with PSA standards, the plan is accounted for as a defined contribution plan whereby the College’s contributions are expensed when due. Details of the MEPP are as follows:

16. RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) ii) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the College will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The College manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash balances, budget monitoring, and forecasts. The following table sets out the contractual maturities of the College’s financial liabilities:

16. RISK MANAGEMENT The College is exposed to financial risks from its financial assets and liabilities. These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (consisting of interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk). i) Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk to the College from potential non-payment of accounts receivable. The credit risk related to the College’s receivables from the provincial government, federal government and their agencies is considered to be minimal. For other receivables, the College has adopted credit policies which include the regular review of the College’s overdue accounts. The college does not have significant exposure to any individual customer. Management reviews accounts receivable on a case by case basis to determine if a valuation allowance is necessary to reflect impairment in collectability. The aging of accounts receivable at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was:

iii) Market Risk The College is exposed to market risks with respect to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates as follows: Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The College’s interest rate exposure relates to cash and cash equivalents, portfolio investments, bank indebtedness and long-term debt. The College also has an authorized bank line of credit of $250,000 with interest payable monthly at a rate of prime less .25%. Changes in the bank’s prime rate can cause fluctuation in interest payments and cash flows. There was no balance outstanding on this credit facility as of June 30, 2019. The College minimizes these risks by: • holding cash in an account at a Canadian bank, denominated in Canadian currency • investing in GICs for short terms at fixed interest rates • managing cash flows to minimize utilization of its bank line of credit • managing its interest rate risk on long-term debt through the exclusive use of fixed rate terms for its long-term debt

19. ACCUMULATED SURPLUS (continued) •

•

Information Technology Reserve is an ongoing reserve to support the replacement and expansion of information technology equipment in the College. Annual requirements in excess of planned operating expenditures and planned capital purchases are funded from this reserve. Maintenance and Improvements Reserve is continued to address the College’s commitment to assuring the long-term viability of student housing. Appropriations will be made annually and the reserve will be maintained in accordance with College planning and commitments. Campus Development Reserve is introduced in 2015/16 to address campus facility opportunities and space needs.

20. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES A union representing employees of an employer unrelated to the College has applied by Notice of Motion for an order quashing purported decisions of the Municipal Employees Pension Plan, relating to the application of actuarial surplus in the fund, as well as other relief. Several participating employers, including the College have been named. It is not possible to estimate the potential effect of the claim at this stage of the proceedings. The Saskatchewan Housing Corporation funding agreement for construction of the Meadow Lake student housing project contains stipulations that continue to be met. In the event of default, principal would become due with interest at a rate of 5.19% per annum. The contingent liability matures May 2, 2021. The current Collective Agreement between the Saskatchewan Regional Colleges and the Saskatchewan Government and General Employees’ Union expired on August 31, 2016. Negotiations will resume in fall of 2019. Any impacts as a result of negotiations will be reflected in the year the agreement is ratified.
