Canada gets first private voucher program

Last week, the Fraser Institute in British Columbia announced the launch of Children First: School Choice Trust, Canada's first privately-funded voucher program, which is aimed at helping poor families send their children to private schools. The program will provide grants paying 50 percent of tuition, up to a maximum of $3,500 per year, for up to 150 students in Ontario.
