Mark Warawa, Member of Parliament for Langley announced two Knowledge Infrastructure Program investments at both Kwantlen Polytechnic University and Trinity Western University totalling more than 4.3 million dollars from both the federal and provincial governments.
This investment is part of the federal government’s two-year, $2-billion plan to repair and expand research and educational facilities at Canadian colleges and universities. The program is helping to provide economic stimulus and promote employment by creating jobs for engineers, architects, trades people and technicians. It is also helping to generate the advanced technological infrastructure needed to keep Canada’s colleges and universities at the forefront of scientific advancement.
“This Government of Canada investment at both Kwantlen Polytechnic and Trinity Western University will provide a significant short-term economic stimulus to Langley and will create jobs in this region,” said Warawa. “Our government is investing in innovation to create jobs, to help our economy recover quickly and to improve the quality of life for Canadians.”
