A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting:
A representative sample of 390 staff was taken via an online survey distributed by the Lakehead's Media Relations team. It should be noted that "Telecommute for 50 percent or more of their regular work hours" was omitted from the survey, however it is estimated that this would comprise a very low percentage of staff at Lakehead University.
