Ontario Student Voices (OSV)–an organization representing college students across Ontario–is urging the Government of Ontario and Government of Canada to create a more sustainable postsecondary funding system. Speaking to Niagara-on-the-Lake Local, OSV Executive Director Lynn Courville said that students are suffering due to recent policy changes, citing insufficient provincial funding and ongoing federal amendments to the international student program. To address these issues, OSV is calling on ON to increase grants by 10% and tie this funding to the consumer price index. “We know that that’s not going to be enough now, given these (federal changes), but it’s a step in the right direction,” said Courville.
