“Our government gave over $1.6 million to Collège La Cité for dental care. The college will run a mobile dental clinic for seniors and children in our area, and train dental students. It will also add a treatment room for young people with special needs.”
“Mr. Speaker, I have some good news for the national capital region and eastern Ontario. Collège La Cité has received an investment of over $1.6 million to improve access to oral health care. This funding will be used to establish a mobile dental clinic providing services directly in our communities, including services for seniors and children, to reduce barriers to care. Each outreach visit will be staffed with two dental technologists and two to four students, for whom this initiative will provide a valuable, hands-on internship experience. The Collège La Cité clinic will also get a treatment room adapted for neurodivergent young people or those with other special needs. Through this initiative, families will be able to get care close to home in a welcoming, inclusive environment adapted to their needs. The investment shows the engagement of the Government of Canada to make health care more accessible and equitable for all. That is how we are building Canada strong.”
