Kevin Matthew Wong, renowned for his work with Why Not Theatre, has been appointed as the new artistic director of Toronto's Factory Theatre. This comes amid significant challenges faced by the organization, including financial instability, reduced municipal funding, and infrastructure issues at its historic 157-year-old building. Former artistic director Mel Hague resigned in late 2025, followed by former managing director Mark Aikman. Wong will also serve as interim managing director, with his replacement to be announced by year-end. The theatre, founded in 1970 as Canada's first company to produce only Canadian plays, has scaled back programming since 2023 and is on 'concerned status' with the Canada Council for the Arts due to organizational instability. Wong emphasized the need to address financial cuts from the Ontario Arts Council over three years while planning building upgrades, such as combining lobbies into an open space for creatives and reconfiguring the studio theatre for closer audience engagement. He aims to balance Canadian roots with international work, positioning Factory Theatre as a platform for global storytelling in Toronto's cultural landscape.

Six of Ontario’s publicly-funded colleges chose not to apply to a government fund designed to identify operational efficiencies, including Conestoga College, which faces severe financial turmoil. The Ford government established the efficiency and accountability fund in 2024 as part of a $1.3-billion funding package to stabilize post-secondary institutions after federal restrictions on international student numbers reduced revenue. Conestoga, now under provincial supervision following an audit revealing 'significant financial misuse and governance failings,' did not participate in the review process. The audit uncovered excessive executive compensation, including a 55% salary hike for a former president to over $636,000, and lavish expenses like a $23,000 trip to Italy for senior leaders. Colleges and Universities Minister Nolan Quinn acknowledged the challenges faced by institutions like Conestoga since international student caps were introduced but argued efficiency reviews wouldn't address international student impacts as they were based on pre-cap data. Critics, including Ontario NDP MPP Peggy Sattler, questioned the effectiveness of the reviews, noting they are voluntary and lack enforcement mechanisms. The government recently announced tuition fee increases and funding boosts for post-secondary institutions amid ongoing concerns about financial sustainability.
