David Gray told the Niagara Region no tax money has been used, it's private

An update to the Niagara region as to how well the University of Niagara Falls is progressing after starting in 2024.

President David Gray noted there were two programs, and less than 50 students when starting, now there are 8-programs, and almost 3,000 students, and the staff has grown.

Councillor Kim Craitor asked the school's president how many tax dollars have been used to fund the school, the answer is 0.

He added the students aren't always at the school, due to different schedules and how far they come.
