Canadore College is getting a $5.5-million boost to help address COVID-19’s financial impact.
The funding was announced as part of a $106.4 million provincial investment to help publicly assisted colleges and universities address the impacts of the pandemic.
The money aims to provide immediate and targeted support for postsecondary institutions that are most affected by decreases in tuition and ancillary revenues.
As well as to offset any incurred expenses associated with online learning, personal protective equipment and enhanced cleaning.
Institutions can also use the funding in 2020-21 to offset COVID-19 expenses related to student financial supports and human resources.
