Why now

Through the Supporting Professional Growth Fund, the Ministry provides licensed Ontario long-term care homes $15.99 per bed, every month, for staff training. A mid-size home has a meaningful amount to put toward IPAC training this year. It must be used by March 31, 2027, and ICICP course fees are an eligible use.
