TORONTO — The Ontario government is establishing the Northern Ontario School of Medicine University (NOSM University) and Université de Hearst (Hearst) as new, independent universities with degree-granting authority, effective April 1, 2022. This important milestone acknowledges the critical role these institutions play in providing students with access to medical training and French-language studies in Northern Ontario.

"The Ontario government is committed to supporting high-quality postsecondary education in northern Ontario," said Jill Dunlop, Minister of Colleges and Universities. "We recognize that our northern institutions are essential to ensuring we have a skilled workforce in the North, and by establishing NOSM University and Hearst as independent, publicly assisted universities, we will enable them to grow in ways that best serve their students and local communities."

TORONTO — The Ontario government is calling on citizens 16 years of age and older to help their communities in times of crisis by joining Volunteer Corps Ontario. The new program will register, screen and train volunteers so Ontario is better prepared to mobilize volunteers and safely respond to emergencies, from public health crises to natural disasters.

"We saw the true Ontario Spirit in action during the COVID-19 pandemic when countless heroes stepped up and volunteered their time," said Premier Ford. "We want to harness that Spirit by establishing Volunteer Corps Ontario to ensure we are prepared and ready to respond when the next emergency comes and requires everyday heroes to once again stand tall and support each other."

This report discusses the perspectives and concerns of Regional Sounding Tour stakeholders around the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on youth, Indigenous peoples, women, and newcomers in the areas of education and employment.

CERIC, along with its partner associations, will be offering a variety of webinar series in the next few months to support the career development community on a range of timely topics. Register now to advance your professional development!
