The Knowledge Infrastructure Program is a joint federal and provincial government initiative for infrastructure enhancement.
The federal government is providing up to $2 billion to colleges and universities across Canada, of which nearly $800 million is allocated for institutions in Ontario. The Ontario government is contributing $780 million to the program.
The combined projects throughout the province will create 36,000 new spaces for students.
