Summary:

"Good news for Ontario students - a new initiative that aims to provide free online textbooks and educational resources will make going to school much more affordable.

The Ontario government has partnered with eCampusOntario, a not-for-profit corporation comprising of all publicly-funded colleges and universities in the province. Together, they are working to expand an open online library of free and low-cost digital textbooks to students across the province.

Ontario has invested $1 million to the Ontario Open Textbooks Initiative, which will focus on provincial-specific curriculums. It is intended to significantly reduce costs for high-enrolment first year courses, French language content, content for Indigenous studies, trades and technical skills content, and content for new Canadians."
