What is Knowledge Ontario’s financial sustainability?
Top Since 2006, the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Culture has committed $13 million to fund the development of Knowledge Ontario as a unique collaborative partnership of Ontario’s libraries. This funding enabled Knowledge Ontario to support the renegotiation of electronic databases through Resource Ontario, and to develop services and explore partnerships through Ask Ontario, Our Ontario and other projects. Knowledge Ontario will continue to partner with the Government of Ontario and its various ministries to support libraries to address the digital divide and to create a smarter, digitally literate, more inclusive and innovative Ontario. While The Government of Ontario will continue to be a key source of funding for Knowledge Ontario and its initiatives Knowledge Ontario is embarking upon a strategic campaign to diversify its funding base.
