Ontario’s universities are driving jobs and growth in communities throughout Ontario.
By supporting students, fueling the talent pipeline and driving community economic development through research, innovation and commercialization, universities play a critical role in making Ontario a globally competitive economy that continues to attract investment.
However, after more than a decade of declining provincial grants, increasing demands on universities and a cut and freeze to tuition, Ontario’s universities are at a breaking point.
Without government investment, Ontario risks compromising the high-quality education, services and experiences our universities provide, limiting the boundless potential of Ontario’s students. Investing in universities is investing in students and our future.
