Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) Proceedings

The goal of the restructuring is to ensure that current and future students will continue to have access to a high quality post-secondary education at Laurentian for years to come.
The court proceedings will provide a court-supervised platform for the University to financially and operationally restructure and become sustainable long-term. Updates and important documents are shared on this website.
