The provincial government is providing relief for post-secondary schools affected by the pandemic.

The province has announced an investment of $106.4 million to help publicly assisted colleges and universities address financial impacts brought on by COVID-19.

The money will help institutions affected by decreases in tuition with expenses related to online learning, enhanced cleaning and personal protective equipment.

Schools may also use the funds to offset COVID-19 expenses related to human resources and financial supports for students.

Among the beneficiaries is Brock University, which is receiving $7.9 million.

Niagara College will receive $6.8 million.
