During the March 30 Board of Governors (BoG) meeting, Ryerson president Mohamed Lachemi announced that the university would be receiving a planning grant from the provincial government.
As part of its 2021-22 budget announced on March 24, the Ontario government said it will provide Ryerson with a planning grant that will support their efforts to develop a medical school in Brampton.
According to Lachemi, this will be the first new medical school in Ontario in almost two decades.
“This announcement is evidence of Ryerson’s well-earned reputation as a leader in innovation [and as a] university that is always pushing for changes and pushing boundaries,” said Lachemi.
