OSAP pause could force Hamilton dental college to close
Diane Nyu is working toward a July graduation, but she no longer knows whether she will be able to finish her dental hygiene program. Her uncertainty gives CHCH News's most-watched new upload of the week its human centre.
In Adam Atkinson's report, Southern Ontario Dental College says a provincewide OSAP pause threatens its future. Chief operating officer Alysse Estrabillo says nine in ten students depend on the assistance. Student Katerina Athanasopoulos describes the pressure of keeping up with rent and mortgages, while footage of an emergency student food bank shows how far the strain extends beyond tuition.
The report drew about 14,000 views and is also the channel's busiest upload right now. It stands out in a week of 25 uploads that moved between provincial decisions, local industry and the breakfast-show kitchen. Other segments covered Stellantis's agreement to sell its idled Brampton assembly plant to Roshel and regional council appointments. Marisa Mariella supplied a gentler change of subject with "Two oven-baked pasta comfort classics," another upload attracting viewers.
Across the channel, the week brought roughly 1.3 million views, while the subscriber count stayed unchanged. That weekly viewing total sits between CBS Colorado and CBC British Columbia among nearby local-news channels; CBS Pittsburgh had a particularly busy week.
For CHCH, the dental-college report brings a provincial funding decision back to a very local question: whether students in Ancaster can complete the training they have already begun.
The Ontario Student Assistance Program provides provincial grants and loans to help Ontario students pay for post-secondary education. Eligibility amounts depend on factors including tuition, course load and students’ financial resources.
