The petition
Whereas First Nations Technical Institute (FNTI) is facing a financial crisis which may force the closing of its doors; and whereas FNTI has contributed significantly to closing the post-secondary gap between Indigenous peoples and Canadian Society, with over 2000 graduates; and whereas in order to deliver degree diploma and certificate programs it relies on often costly accreditation partnerships because it does not receive direct operational funding the way Ontario’s other colleges and universities do; and whereas FNTI is denied the same stability, security and variety of funding that is provided to other post-secondary institutions, therefore let it be resolved that we the undersigned call on the Ontario government to provide equity in operational funding and equity in the conferring of accreditation with its other 24 colleges and 19 universities.
