Ontario to invest $50M into publicly assisted colleges

The Ontario government announced on Monday it will invest $50 million into publicly assisted colleges in the province.

Matthews, speaking at George Brown College in Toronto, said that the money will be used to enhance student learning and enable colleges to buy software for teaching, new lab and shop equipment, and technology to modernize classrooms.

Matthews said the money will support what the province calls the Northern Colleges Collaboration, a partnership among Ontario's six public colleges with the aim of improving access to education in the North.
