Group seeks provincial funding to replace aging Catholic school in Cornwall
What happened
A citizens’ group called Patriotes toujours is calling on the Ontario government for funding to replace École secondaire catholique La Citadelle in Cornwall. The school, which dates to 1950, is described as Cornwall’s oldest secondary school. The group states that renovating the facility could cost nearly as much as building a new one, and the Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien has previously sought and been denied provincial funding for a replacement.
Why it matters
The appeal is for provincial capital funding to address aging public infrastructure. If the project moves forward, it could influence future public spending priorities and local construction demand in the region.
The Ontario government is currently providing funding for school expansion involving the Upper Canada District School Board.

The government might increase capital funding for public infrastructure projects if the appeal is successful.
