Knowledge infrastructure investments

Through the Knowledge Infrastructure Program, the federal and provincial governments are investing more than $4 billion in building and improving critical research and teaching infrastructure at postsecondary education institutions across the country.

With this infusion of funds, universities are creating jobs in their communities by building new research facilities and modernizing old ones. AUCC’s 95 members, in communities across the country, are doing their part to position Canada for a return to economic growth and prosperity.
