In January, the University of Guelph delivered its provincial pre-budget submission to the Ontario Ministry of Finance.

U of G thanked the provincial government for collaborating with the post-secondary sector as the government implements a number of policy initiatives, including the tuition framework, a new funding formula for universities and the Ontario Student Grant (OSAP) reforms.

The University also requested the government’s continued collaboration specifically for:

  • Continued support for the agriculture and food sector;
  • Further relief from pension solvency requirements;
  • Dedicated support for work-integrated learning and the implementation of the Highly Skilled Workforce Strategy; and
  • Further support for student well-being, including mental health supports on campus.
