The Ontario government has announced that they will once again be providing financial relief for families facing new education-related expenses in the COVID-19 era with support totalling $380 million. Beginning November 30, parents or guardians residing in Ontario can complete a simple online application through the
Support for Learners web page. Applications will remain open until January 15, 2021.
The new Support for Learners program will provide direct one-time payments to help offset additional learning costs, whether their children attend school in person, online or a mix of both. Funds can assist with additional education expenses during COVID-19, such as workbooks, school supplies, technology and developmental resources. The funding also assists with additional childcare costs, whether the child is in child care or at home.
