A new University of Waterloo digital media campus for Stratford Ontario will go forward as planned, with or without a $10-million contribution from the federal government. With no official commitment from Ottawa, the project's budget has been cut from $30-million to $25-million. Ontario and Stratford have already committed $10 million each, while the city, with the help of uWaterloo, will raise the last $5-million through a fundraising campaign. The campus will open in September 2009. Canadian Press
