Funding for higher education, donation for injection sites

Briefly, the government has announced that funding for post secondary institutions will shift to such criteria as the student graduation rate, experiential learning opportunities, graduate earnings, graduate employment and skills and competencies. Sounds okay so far. And in Toronto, the Overdose Prevention Society will donate $20,000 each to two supervised injection facilities that had their provincial funding cut off last month. They are St. Stephen’s Community House on Augusta Avenue and Street Health Community Nursing on Dundas Street East. In March, the provincial government announced that it would fund 15 supervised injection facilities, including six in Toronto but not six others.
