The provincial and federal governments announced on Wednesday that they reached an agreement to jointly fund a French-language university in Toronto, set to welcome students in 2021.
Franco-Ontarians
The provincial and federal governments reached an “understanding” on establishing the institution, likely in southwestern Ontario. It’s expected to take eight years to build. Here’s why opening its doors is so important.
There need to be increased opportunities for Franco-Ontarian and bilingual students to be able to practice and hone their language skills while not having to travel across the province or country in order to do so.
Considering Franco-Ontarians are plenty in number but hugely underrepresented at universities throughout the province, it’s an important discussion to have.
