The Government of Manitoba, Government of New Brunswick, and Government of Québec are each supporting the development of more student housing. MB, along with the Manitoba Mineral Development Fund and Prairies Canada, will contribute $2M toward the University College of the North’s new student housing project. The facility will open in Flin Flon in Fall 2025. NB has announced $569K in funding for the Université de Moncton and $555K for the University of New Brunswick to support student housing-related studies and planning work. Meanwhile, QC, the Ville de Gatineau, and the Université du Québec en Outaouais have marked the start of construction on a $36.6M housing facility that will include 91 affordable housing units for students. This will reportedly be UQO’s first student residence.
