Ottawa Now - 'If there are no farmers, what are they going to be eating?': Horticulture student vents frustrations over approved cuts at Algonquin College

March 3, 2026

Despite new funding from the Ontario government, and Premier Ford lifting a gut-punching tuition freeze, Algonquin College’s Board of Governors has decided to execute another series of program suspensions. Just one year after the last round of cuts, another 30 programs will be on the chopping block this time, with the college citing ‘financial mitigation measures’ as the reason why. Aarushi Aarushi is a 2nd Semester student at Algonquin’s Horticulture Program, which is one of the programs biting the dust. She vents her frustrations on today’s Ottawa Now.
