The Governments of Canada and Ontario provide more than $12.6 million for Collège La Cité in Ottawa 

The Government of Canada supports post-secondary institutions like Collège La Cité, a key player in the revitalization of the Franco-Ontarian community. Thus, the government announced in April more than $12.6 million in funding for Collège La Cité to transform its current technology infrastructure and revise its operations as part of its new digital strategy. This funding will also allow for the repurposing of four spaces into collaborative classrooms. 

Specifically, the Government of Canada is investing nearly $10 million over three years so that Collège La Cité can undertake this important technological project, with the Government of Ontario also contributing more than $2 million over three years. 

Additionally, the funding will support the development of three micro-certifications in digital citizenship offered online at the Collège La Cité, in collaboration with the Université de l’Ontario français and the Groupe Média TFO – to be offered online. 

The first two projects are funded under the Canada-Ontario Agreement on Minority-Language Education and Second-Language Instruction 2020–2021 to 2022–2023. Funding for the classroom retrofits is provided through the Community Education Infrastructure Project.
