Career college students worry about impact of OSAP pause, extended to 2027
Students worry about impact of OSAP pause

Now that the Ontario government has confirmed that a provincewide pause on student financial assistance payments to career colleges will last for months, some students say they're worried it will prevent them from graduating.
Colleges and Universities Minister Nolan Quinn announced late Tuesday afternoon that the pause won't be lifted until the government establishes a new process for approving private post-secondary institutions under the Ontario Student Assistance Program.
He says that work isn't expected to be finished until the new year, and the government is also still working to secure third-party loans for students through banks.
Quinn enacted the pause after he said preliminary findings from an audit into OSAP usage at career colleges highlighted serious concerns.
Many students say they feel unfairly penalized for the allegedly suspicious activity of others.
Trillium College has suspended classes due to uncertainty around the OSAP pause, and student Marina Whitehead says she now doesn't know if she will be able to graduate in February, as planned.

The Public Sector Pension Investment Board has signed a deal to launch a joint venture with Nuveen Real Estate to invest in open-air shopping centres in the United States.
The partnership is starting with a US$790-million portfolio.
PSP Investments says the strategy is demographically driven, focusing on open-air shopping centres anchored by grocers, necessity-based retailers, and essential services.
It is targeting U.S. metro areas with strong population growth, rising household incomes and high barriers to entry, where retailers are seeking to expand.
To date, PSP Investments and Nuveen say they have closed deals on 19 assets in Virginia, Arizona, Florida, Minnesota, Texas, California, Colorado, and Washington.
PSP Investments invests money for the pension plans of the federal public service, the Canadian Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the Reserve Force.

Carney appoints astronaut Jeremy Hansen to advise government on new space strategy
Carney taps astronaut Jeremy Hansen as adviser

Prime Minister Mark Carney has appointed Jeremy Hansen as a special adviser on space.
In a social media post, Hansen says he hopes to build on Canada's strengths in the field and find new ways to harness opportunities.
He says the role involves advising Carney and Industry Minister Mélanie Joly.
Joly says Hansen proposed helping the government craft a new space strategy, which she says will look to expand industrial innovation and get more Canadians into space.
In April, as part of the Artemis II mission, Hansen and three other astronauts travelled around the moon and further out into space than any humans before them.
His appointment comes as Canada looks to expand space co-operation with European countries, and as Washington warns it can also seek partners other than Canada for its space missions.
