Derek Burney Accepts Chancellor Roll
Lakehead University's new chancellor is a star in the political and
diplomatic circles in Canada and the United States. Thunder Bay's Derek
Burney is a former ambassador and former chief of staff to the prime
minister. Burney says he accepted the largely ceremonial position because
he doesn't take education for granted and wants to show the important
roll it has played in his storied career.
