What’s Happening at George Brown Polytechnic?

George Brown Polytechnic is reportedly planning to cut more jobs after eliminating 51 roles in March 2026.

“Like many post-secondary institutions, we continue to face financial pressures, largely driven by changes to international student policies introduced across Canada by IRCC beginning in 2024,” the Toronto-based college said in a statement to CTV News.

“Workforce decisions are a last resort, taken only after exploring all other measures and following a comprehensive review of program delivery, workload, and operational requirements.”
