Ontario Premier Doug Ford will “mark a milestone” for a new medical school in Brampton, Ontario. Friday late morning.
Ford will join Health Minister Sylvia Jones and Mayor Patrick Brown at 11 a.m. The press conference will be streamed live on CTVNewsToronto.ca and the CTV News app.
Little information has been provided about the facility, but the government has previously said it will be operated by the Metropolitan University of Toronto. The proposed school will gain 80 undergraduate places and 95 postgraduate positions when it becomes operational as part of a wider effort to recruit more medical staff.
The medical school was proposed after Brampton failed to win its own more general university. Staff spent more than $500,000 on the proposal, which never materialized.
