Original story:
No specific information yet, but a news release from the Premier's office says Premier Kathleen Wynne will be visiting North Bay this week.
It's part of a tour of Ontario's postsecondary institutions that kicked off today at OCAD University in Toronto.
Premier Wynne will meet with students, faculty and staff at Ontario colleges and universities, including visits to campuses in North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Toronto, London, Waterloo Region, and Guelph.
"The tour is an opportunity to hear from students about some of the most important issues facing them today, including tuition costs and the post-graduation job market," says the release.
"The premier will share improvements that are coming to the Ontario Student Assistance Program to make higher education more accessible for young people. Starting this September, tuition will be free for over 210,000 students -- the most significant change to student assistance in Ontario's history."
Starting in September, the Ontario Student Assistance Program will make average college and university tuition free for students from families with combined household incomes of $50,000 or less.
