The Thames Valley District School Board in London, Ontario has cut approximately 115 staff positions, including around 47 teachers, library and guidance staff, and learning support positions, following the province's takeover in April due to a budget deficit exceeding $30 million.

Fanshawe College in London, Ontario is eliminating 400 full-time jobs (35% of its workforce) due to new caps on international students and provincial underfunding.

Fanshawe College announced an additional 163 job cuts, bringing the total workforce reduction target from 400 to 500 positions, despite receiving new provincial funding. The cuts are driven by lower-than-expected enrollment following federal restrictions on international students, with the college projecting 17,200 current students compared to 22,000 the previous year.
