The province is investing $5.2M in teacher education at Brock University.

Brock recently held a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the opening of its new Burlington Campus.

At the ceremony, Honourable Nolan Quinn, Minister of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security, delivered news of the funding that will support 360 new teacher education spaces at the University.

It will also help support teacher education spaces at Brock’s St. Catharines campus.

“We are proud to welcome Brock University to the Robert Bateman Community Centre and the City of Burlington. We thank the province for this investment, which enhances our vision of creating vibrant, inclusive spaces where learning and community thrive together,” said Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward. “Brock’s presence here is a testament to the power of collaboration. We are proud partners in training the new generation of teachers who will, in turn, train the next generation of leaders in our community — our children.”
