Subject: Library Report for the Proposed Centre for
Wildlife Ecology

Date:
September 24, 2002
Cc: Lynn Copeland, University Librarian
Leslie Rimmér, Liaison Librarian for Biology
Here is the Library's Report regarding the proposed Centre for Wildlife Ecology.
I have reviewed the proposal for the above named Centre and am satisfied that the Library can support
the Centre at this time. We have been supporting the activities associated with the Chair in Wildlife
Ecology for the past several years; the proposed administrative change will not make further demands
on Library resources. The Centre proposal includes a bibliography of publications. The Library has
strong holdings among these publications, including the major journals in this field.
Although there are no outstanding Library issues at this time, there may be future hiring of faculty with
interests outside the current scope of the Centre for Wildlife Ecology. When hiring such individuals it
is important to note the compatibility of their research interests with existing library resources. If a
mismatch is determined and new resources are required the Centre will have to provide funding to
purchase such library resources. This is a general concern regarding new hires and not specific to the
Centre for Wildlife Ecology.
Costs:
THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL LIBRARY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS CENTRE.
If you have any questions regarding this assessment, please don't hesitate to contact me by phone

Dear Dean Davidson:
This package of materials constitutes an Application to the University to form a centre under
University Policy R.40.0 1, CE?flRES AND INSTr1VrES, called the 'Centre for Wildlife Ecology'. It is
my intention that this become a Schedule A Centre, coming under the direct authority of the Dean of
Science. The administrative zacture proposed here is intended to provide continuity for
the
research
program that existed as the 'Chair of Wildlife Ecology', until the retirement of Professor Fred Cooke, on
March 31 of this year (2002).
The following documents are enclosed:
(i)
a draft Constitution, that sets out the structure and running of the new 'Centre for Wildlife
Ecology'.
(ii)
a letter of endorsement from the existing Board of Directors, supporting the proposed new
structure, and the direction the Chair has taken since I assumed
the (iterim)
Directorship on
September 1, 2001.
W (iii) a copy of
the
current 'Agreement for a CWS/NSERC Chair of Wildlife Ecology'. This
document was renewed July 20, 1998, and isin force until March 3l,2003. Itistobe
renegotiated this year, likely for another five year term.
(iv)
?
?
The agenda of the April 8, 2002 meeting of the Board of Directors and the minutes of the
?
preceding meeting, August 28, 2000.
* ?
(v) ?
a copy of the '2001 1
2002 Annual Report', describing fully the 'Chair of Wildlife Ecology's'
?
activities and budget up to March 31 of this year.
Together these documents provide a comprehensive overview and background to this proposal.
They establish that the proposed CWE is based on an ongoing. successful nine-year program of co-
operative research with Environment Canada The research activities, profile and budget have increased
steadily over this period, and there is every reason to expect continued success in this venture. The
administrative structure proposed here was arrived at after discussion with the Board of Directors, and has
their endorsement I stress that the day-to-day running of the research program will not be greatly
affected by this administrative change.
I would of course be pleased to provide any other documentation that you feel may be useful, and
would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you.

CENTRE FOR WILDLIFE ECOLOGY?
Proposed Constitution (Draft)
1. History
Under the Migratory Birds Convention and Canada Wildlife Acts, the mandate of the
Canadian Wildlife Service is to protect and conserve migratory bird populations. In the
2l century, this historical mandate is broadening to encompass other environmental
concerns such as species at risk, biodiversity, sustainability and endangered habitats. To
meet these broad and varied responsibilities, Environment Canada depends on sound
science, and participates in cooperative ventures. In 1993, the National Sciences and
Engineering Research Council of Canada, Simon Fraser University, and Environment
Canada signed a 10 year agreement to create the NSERC/CWS Chair in Wildlife Ecology
at SFU. The Centre for Wildlife Ecology (CWE) described here is designed to renew 'the
Chair', as the original Chairholder, Professor Fred Cooke, retired March 31, 2002.
2.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Centre for Wildlife Ecology (CWE) is to foster high quality, graduate
training and research, conduct basic and applied research in wildlife ecology, and to
provide knowledge and personnel that will help Environment Canada and other agencies
meet the challenges of conservation in the 21"century. The central concept is to foster
synergy between the mission-oriented research and management policies of the Canadian
Wildlife Service (CWS) and the basic research agenda of the University. Information,
ideas, expertise, resources and opportunity flow back and forth across this interface.
Government agencies gain access to a broad base of science capability that helps inform
policy and decision making, while the university and its faculty and students benefit from
enhanced opportunities for research and its application.
3.
Administration
3a
The Centre for Wildlife Ecology shall be administered in accordance with
Simon Fraser University Policies including R.40.01, CENTRES AND
INSTITUTES. If the CWE Constitution and University policy differ,
University policy shall prevail.

The Centre for Wildlife Ecology is a Schedule A Centre (R.40.01, page 2)
and comes under the direct authority of the Dean of Science.
3c ?
The Centre for Wildlife Ecology is housed in the Department of
Biological Sciences.
3d Faculty positions, budget, staff support and other resources given by
Simon Fraser University and Environment Canada are described in the
document entitled 'Agreement for a CWS/NSERC Chair of Wildlife
Ecology'. This document was renewed July 20, 1998, and is in force until
March 3l,2003.

Dear Willie:
The Board
of
Directors
of
the NSERC/Canadiafl Wildlife Service
"Chair of
Wildlife Ecology" (CWE) at
Simon
Fraser University has convened
on a
regular
basis,
most recently
on
April 8, 2002. At this last meeting, we discussed
the
Annual
Report of
the
CWE. From
the
point
of
view
of the Board,
there has been a smooth
transition
from having
Dr.
Fred
Cooke to Dr. Ron Ydenberg at the
helm
and the
performance
of the
CWE continues
to exceed all expectations.
Further,
the Board of
Directors
endorses
the evolution of the Chair to a "Centre for
Wildlife Ecology"
with Dr.
Ron
Ydenberg
as the Director. We trust that you will be supportive of
this change and
can ratify the necessary arrangements with Dr.
Ydenberg
to bring the Centre into
being
at your
earliest convenience. Concomitantly, Environment
Canada are in the process of
drafting a
new Agreement
with Simon Fraser University, to renew
this
highly successful
collaboration
for a further five
(5) years. The current
Agreement expires March
31, 2003.
Please do not
hesitate
to contact me should you
require
further information on
either the
position
of the
Board
of Directors or Environment Canada at this time.
Sincerely,
