Ontario’s first ever fully French university will be opening in the fall of 2021.
Queen’s Park and Ottawa have signed an historic agreement to fund the Université de l’Ontario français with $126 million over eight years.
“We are delighted to achieve this historic milestone and to welcome, as planned, the first cohorts in the fall 2021,” said Dyane Adam, Chair of the Board of Governors for Université de l’Ontario français.
This agreement confirms that the Government of Canada will assume up to 50 percent of the total investment in this project.
” “We are excited to be able to move forward with full implementation of the Université de l’Ontario français,” said Minister Romano. “Our government has always been committed to the university and to supporting access to the education and training needed for rewarding careers and meeting labour market demands for Ontario’s Francophone students.”
In early September 2019 the government of Canada and Ontario signed a memorandum saying that they acknowledge this commitment and are looking to make it work.
“We are delighted to achieve this historic milestone and to welcome, as planned, the first cohort in the fall of 2021,” said Dyane Adam, Chair of the Board of Governors for Université de l’Ontario français.” I want to thank the provincial and federal government for their leadership and support and look forward to welcoming Ontario’s Francophone students to the Université de l’Ontario français.”
