Rand Dyck

Perry Rand Dyck (born 1943 in Calgary, Alberta[1]) is the author of the Canadian Politics: Critical Approaches textbook which is used in many Canadian universities, and taught to students studying Political Science, Law, Economics, Women's Studies, Philosophy, Anthropology, Sociology, and History. Since 1993, Dr. Dyck has participated in the organisation of the Laurentian University Model Parliament, an event which has been featured in Maclean's magazine. He currently teaches at Carleton University as an adjunct professor and also at Nunavut Sivuniksavut in Ottawa. He won the Teaching Excellence Award at Laurentian University[2] and the OCUFA Teaching Excellence Award in 2002 and the Faculty of Public Affairs Teaching Award at Carleton University in 2014.

Model Parliament

edit

Dyck was responsible for the creation of the Laurentian University Model Parliament, or (LUMP), in 1992.[3] Since that time, the LUMP was organized by the Laurentian University Political Science Association, and included students from Laurentian's affiliated colleges. The LUMP met annually in January for 28 years, initially alternating between the Ontario Legislature in Toronto and the House of Commons in Ottawa. Every five years, it also held an Alumni Model Parliament in the Senate Chamber, and was the only model parliament to operate a bicameral and, thanks to the staff of the House of Commons, completely bilingual legislature. Unfortunately, the existence of LUMP was initially threatened by the COVID pandemic and by the disappearance of the Laurentian University Department of Political Science in 2021. However, Zachary Courtemanche organized an Alumni Model Parliament in January 2024 which included current Laurentian students, and it was so successful, that the future looks bright!
