Progress Report Shows Ontarians Working Together
Results You Can Read, Progress You Can See
Together, we’re building a strong economy with good jobs for our families today and good jobs for our children tomorrow. But a strong economy isn’t an end to itself. It’s the means to a more caring society. A society where all our children receive the best public education, all our families are cared for in the best health care system, and where all our vulnerable benefit from the best public supports.
This is the sixth in a series of Progress Reports updating Ontarians on the results we have achieved together in a transparent and measurable way.
We’re going to keep making significant investments in the priorities that matter to Ontarians. And together, we’ll make Ontario the place to be for years to come.
Highlights include:
- Graduation rates have increased from 68 per cent in 2003–04 to 77 per cent in 2007–08.
- Wait times for cancer surgery have dropped by 16 days and 800,000 more Ontarians have access to a family doctor.
- Construction is underway or completed for more than 100 major hospital projects.
- Ontario is now home to over 670 wind turbines and Canada’s largest solar farm.
