A year ago the college completed the first of the new residences, opening facilities at its Pictou campus in Stellarton and the Akerly campus in Dartmouth.
Those projects were announced along with the Ivany campus in November 2022 with a commitment of $112 million in funding from the provincial government.
In November 2023 four more projects were announced for the campuses in Springhill, Kentville, Bridgewater and at the Institute of Technology campus in Halifax, adding 270 more beds and bringing the total number of announced new housing spaces to 618.

Carney expected to face trade war questions as higher tariffs remain
Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to face questions about the status of trade talks with the United States on Tuesday as higher tariffs imposed last week by U.S. President Donald Trump remain in place. Carney will visit a wood product manufacturing facility, his office said and speak to reporters after the visit. That comes as Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne head to Mexico to meet with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on their two-day visit. They will also meet with Canadian and Mexican business leaders, 'including key players supporting North America's integrated economy, trade infrastructure and supply chains,' Anand's office said. 3:56 Ford tells Carney not to 'roll over' to Trump on U.S.-Canada trade deal On Friday, after the U.S.-imposed target date for a trade deal between Canada and the U.S. expired, Trump increased the tariffs on Canadian goods from 25 per cent to 35 per cent.

Some in Canada have called for further retaliation. 'Canada shouldn't settle for anything less than the right deal. Now is not the time to roll over. We need to stand our ground,' Ontario Premier Doug Ford said in a statement. 'The federal government needs to hit back with a 50 per cent tariff on U.S. steel and aluminum.' Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston indicated that his province is considering retaliatory measures of its own. 'Our government will continue its part to support our province and the rest of Canada. Make no mistake: at the provincial level, we will not hesitate to implement retaliatory measures again if they are needed,' Houston said in a statement.

Canada Post workers rejected ‘final' contract offers. What happens next?
Labour experts say another postal service strike is unlikely after unionized Canada Post workers rejected their employer's latest round of offers in a forced vote and the parties mull their next steps. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers said Friday that the roughly 55,000 members represented by the union shot down the Canada Post's latest proposal, which would've seen wage hikes of about 13 per cent over four years and restructuring to add part-time workers to the deal. Some 68.5 per cent of urban mail carriers who voted were against the deal, while their rural and suburban colleagues were 69.4 per cent against. Adam King, assistant professor in the labour studies program at the University of Manitoba, said the forced ratification vote ordered by the federal government and administered by the Canada Industrial Relations Board was a 'distraction.' Story continues below advertisement 'Hopefully, at the end of the day, we see an agreement reached at the table — where it should have been in the beginning,' he said in an interview. 'Canada Post management is really going to have to put something on the table that the union actually thinks members will accept.' 1:52 Canada Post workers start voting on job offer Negotiations for a new collective agreement have been ongoing for more than a year and a half. The federal government asked CIRB to step in and scuttle a holiday season postal strike late last year, but the parties remain at an impasse. Get daily National news Get the day's top news, political, economic, and current affairs headlines, delivered to your inbox once a day. Sign up for daily National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy The Crown corporation requested Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu send its most recent proposals from late May — calling them the 'final offers' — to a forced vote from workers. Canada Post said in a statement Friday that it was 'disappointed' in the vote results and that it was weighing its next steps. Story continues below advertisement CUPW said in a bulletin to members last week that its negotiators are ready to head back to the bargaining table. A national ban on overtime work, in place since CUPW entered a strike position in late May, will continue in the meantime. King acknowledged that while the vote didn't go in Canada Post's favour, it wasn't a 'resounding' rejection, with more than 30 per cent of voters coming out in favour of the deals as presented. Larry Savage, professor in the department of labour studies at Brock University, said that apparent division in the ranks of CUPW would make it difficult to get members on a picket line. 'Even if you could effectively organize a strike, it's not obvious to me that it would produce the results the union's looking for,' Savage said in an interview. Before Hajdu sent Canada Post's offers to a vote, she had asked the parties to come to terms for binding arbitration to put an end to the dispute. CUPW was broadly in favour of sending talks to arbitration but Canada Post pushed back, arguing it would tie negotiations up in a lengthy process. 5:58 CUPW urges members to reject Canada Post contract vote Canada Post has warned that uncertainty around the fate of contract talks continues to cost the struggling postal service millions of dollars in business each day as customers shift to competitors. Story continues below advertisement The Crown corporation's financial woes have been well-documented throughout the talks. An Industrial Inquiry Commission report from Commissioner William Kaplan earlier this year found the postal service was effectively bankrupt and needed substantial reforms to remain afloat. But King said arbitrators tend to be 'conservative' in bringing parties to a middle ground and are unlikely to make the kinds of sweeping, structural changes Canada Post is looking for in a new deal. Savage agreed that 'binding arbitration is not actually a long-term solution to the problems at Canada Post.' 'I think that management's forced final vote was a gamble and it blew up in their faces, but they still hold cards,' he said. Canada Post could unilaterally impose new contract terms and 'dare the union to strike,' Savage said, or could start laying off workers as its business falters. 'Both of those strategies would put tremendous pressure on the union to reach an agreement,' he said. 'The danger, of course, for Canada Post is that its aggressive tactics thus far have seemingly only driven the parties further apart.' Hajdu said in a statement Friday that the federal government expects the parties to get back to the negotiating table and find a resolution 'as soon as possible.' Story continues below advertisement Given the financial struggles mentioned in the report, Savage said he expects the federal government will look to restructure Canada Post's mandate after the current labour dispute wraps up. That could see, as suggested in Kaplan's report, a further expansion of community mailboxes or an end to daily door-to-door delivery. In that context, Savage said the negotiations are less about which side wins the day and more about 'who will survive long-term.' 'There is a storm brewing for both Canada Post's management and the union. And I think that getting over this hump is important, but I think that it pales in comparison to what's coming,' he said.

Ford government started studying Hwy. 401 tunnel after private-sector bids: docs
Years before Ontario Premier Doug Ford stood in Etobicoke to declare his government's desire to build an express tunnel underneath Highway 401, the province began looking for ways to relieve North America's most congested artery. Instead of turning to the traditional public procurement process for solutions to Toronto's traffic woes, the government opted for a new route: an open portal where private companies could submit unsolicited proposals on public infrastructure projects. Over a three-year period, that portal, internal government documents reveal, received three unsolicited proposals to specifically alleviate traffic along the 401 — among them tunnels, tolled roads and managed lanes. In September 2024, Ford announced a feasibility study for a 50-kilometre tunnel beneath the province's largest highway and said he wanted a third-party analysis of the idea to determine the final length and scope of the mega project. Story continues below advertisement What Ford didn't mention when he stood at the podium was the fact his government had been considering the idea since 2019, had already studied it, and even abandoned the plan after encountering 'challenges and risks.' Hundreds of pages of internal government presentations and emails, obtained by Global News using freedom of information laws, demonstrate how suggestions from three private construction firms helped spark the idea to build one of the largest public infrastructure projects in Ontario's history. The Ministry of Transportation said in a statement the tunnel was part of its plan 'to build a modern and integrated transportation network, and give Ontarians options.' Private proposals In 2019, the Ministry of Infrastructure set up a new provincial portal to receive ideas for big projects from the private sector. The Ford government was looking for ideas that relate to Ontario's 'core types of infrastructure, including new transit infrastructure, health care facilities, highways, law enforcement facilities and housing.' Story continues below advertisement While it's unclear exactly how many proposals have been submitted to the government through the portal, the documents obtained by Global News show that, between 2019 and 2021, three separate private highway plans were sent to the government. One was for two 22-kilometre tolled tunnels under Highway 401, submitted by the construction firm Aecon in 2019. As Global News previously reported, the Aecon idea for a privately-operated tunnel solution to gridlock had also been pitched to the City of Toronto and to the previous Ontario Liberal government. Another proposal came, also in 2019, from Cintra for a ''U-Ring' of managed lanes' on Highway 427, Highway 401, the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway. The final pitch, in September 2021, was to expand the central section of Highway 401 with tolled expressway lanes. That was submitted by Acciona. According to internal documents, the government directed civil servants to assess 'the feasibility and benefits of a tunnel or similar large-scale capital infrastructure project on the central Hwy 401 corridor.'

View image in full screen A summary of Highway 401 tunnel bids contained in a government assessment. Global News Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles said she was concerned the private bids had helped to create the idea. Story continues below advertisement 'Usually in a situation like that you would not have them all arrive unsolicited; you would put out a public call and the government didn't do that,' she said. 'Whenever I hear about situations like that, it reminds me a little bit about the Greenbelt scenario, where suddenly some developers seem to know that there were going to be possible changes coming. So it's a question really of who knew what, when and why?' Project studied in detail Government documents suggest the 'initial assessment' of a tunnel under Highway 401 began sometime in late 2019, soon after the government's Unsolicited Proposal portal was populated with ideas. Hundreds of pages of emails viewed by Global News show officials with the Ministry of Transportation and external consultants studied the tunnel in detail to 'complete preliminary evaluation and costing of options including considerations for tunnelling beneath Highway 401.' Story continues below advertisement While the work was paused in 2021 — as the province began focusing on a GTA-wide transportation strategy — it was restarted in the summer of 2024, when two ministers were told about the plan. 'The original reason this briefing came about was because Minister Sarkaria and Minister Surma caught wind of the Tunnelling USP from a few years ago and requested a briefing,' one email sent between civil servants said. 'I believe that was in early July.' The vast majority of the messages were sent between civil servants and political staff through the summer of 2024 as they prepared to brief Infrastructure Minister Kinga Surma and Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria on what work had been done so far. The emails suggest work already completed on the tunnel included: a price estimate, technical studies and assessments of the market to build it. 'I see from previous materials that project planning was paused in late 2021, pending the release of the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) Transportation Plan. Can you please confirm whether this work has resumed? And if not, why has it not resumed?' an email sent from a political staffer to a civil servant last summer asks. The email also requested, 'information on: any geotechnical work has been done already and what work will be required should tunnelling be pursued; the timelines for planning and design and estimated timelines for overall project; and finally, estimated costs of planning and design, and estimated costs Total Project Costs.' Another message from a civil servant highlighted the similarities between the plan Ford announced in the summer of 2024 and the work completed years earlier. Story continues below advertisement 'This is pretty much where the USP evaluation ended up,' one frustrated email read after Ford held a news conference to announce his plan. 'Would have saved us all a lot of time if MO simply gave this as a directive, ahead of this announcement. Now, let's wait for more clear instruction from MO/DMO.' MO is generally short for the minister's office, which is the political arm of the ministry. DMO usually means the deputy minister's office, run by senior civil servants. Stiles said the government should release the work it had previously done on a project she said its latest studies will show is unviable. 'We will be demanding the government release that information,' Stiles said. 'This is a process that raises a lot of questions; it seems to have been done secretly without a public request for proposals.' Despite the similarity, the Ford government has forged ahead by issuing a request for private companies to study whether a tunnel is feasible. Global News asked the Ministry of Transportation why it was launching a new feasibility study for the project, given the apparent breadth of its 2021 analysis. 'Initial proposals provided preliminary information however, the landscape has changed and studies show congestion has gotten worse, costing our economy $56 billion every year,' a spokesperson said. Story continues below advertisement 'We are looking at all options to get commuters out of traffic and this feasibility study will provide valuable information directly from industry partners.' Government gets 'antsy' to restart project Once the project had been revived, communications seen by Global News make it clear that political staff were keen to get moving. 'MO is following up weekly and getting antsy,' one early September email said. Another said: 'MO are also quite eager and have been asking regularly for this briefing — I don't think they understand what is taking so long (which is fair).' But roughly a year after the minister's office restarted the project, there has been no word on the status of the renewed feasibility study. Matti Siemiatycki, director of the infrastructure institute at the University of Toronto, said the tunnel was a 'dream' and not a practical plan. Story continues below advertisement Despite opposing the plan and saying it 'won't solve the problem' of congestion on Highway 401, he said the government should keep studying it after winning an election with it in their platform. 'Actually, I support them continuing to study it in part because the premier raised it in advance of the election — he won the election, so this is something that has now been through the political system,' Siemiatycki said. 'It should be studied technically and all the documents should then be released. And the public can see and then we make a decision on what to do.'
