The City of Quinte West’s city council has approved a resolution that supports Loyalist College. This resolution was adopted after Loyalist President Mark Kirkpatrick spoke to municipal councils in February. It supports Loyalist’s commitment to educating the region’s domestic and international students; expresses concern about the Government of Ontario’s postsecondary funding; requests that ON reconsider its funding model, review tuition fees, and work collaboratively with the province’s postsecondary institutions; and urges Canada to recognize international student contributions. The council also reaffirmed its commitment to advocating for postsecondary funding. The council unanimously voted in favour of the resolution and put it forward to the federal and provincial government.
