Ontario Investing Over $21 Million to Train Staff in Long-Term Care

February 5, 2026

The government is delivering on its plan to protect the province’s long-term care system by investing $21 million in two programs that will help 700 long-term care staff upgrade their skills.

The programs are designed to help workers in rural and northern communities gain new qualifications to advance in their careers and ensure long-term care residents get the quality of care and quality of life they need and deserve

Today’s investment builds on our $4.9 billion four-year staffing plan, which is focused on recruitment, training and retention and helped add more than 16,000 personal support workers and nurses to the provincial workforce.
