List of universities in Canada

 * Notified: Gary King, WikiProject Education in Canada and ''WikiProject Universities.

This was previous split and forked. The component lists we all delisted and merged by Reywas92 and Rst20xx following consensus at the talk page. The information is out of date. I updated and tagged some of the British Columbia figures before lists were merged but the others haven't been updated (or tagged). There are also now 5a (visual appeal) issues, because maps from old sublist leads have been put next to tables text is shifted down (ideally they would be smaller, not sure if this is possible). For example between the "Newfoundland and Labrador" and "Nova Scotia" sections the map is pushed to the left of the preceeding image, and the text is further squashed to the left of the map. (this actually doesn't happen on smaller monitors) Also at the Prairies FLRC concerns were raised over the reliability of AUCC. From the Alberta section "There are four universities in Alberta, fourteen public colleges (two of which grant degrees), and seven private colleges (all of which grant degres). Most private colleges refer to themselves as "university colleges", but are not legally universities, although they grant equivalent degrees." – if that is the case is there any reason to have seperate lists for unis and colleges?

 * Comment - this list looks pretty good to me. If the map is causing problem visually, then they should be removed. The out of date info is the biggest problem, but if a dedicate editor can fix them, then problem solved.— Chris!  c t 19:34, 14 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep- This list needs work, but overall, it is unique in that is doesn't follow the bland look of other lists. Maybe the list can be combined, and the maps and images can go to the bottom of the page. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 16:51, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Manitoba universities doesn't have their languages listed, is there a reason for this? Also, there are inconsistancies between Location A, Location B, and Location C (vs Location A & Location B & Location C, and even other styles), this should be fixed.

 * Not happy—"Local" confuses with local government, where "provincial" is intended. (Second sentence)
 * "As a result of this constitutional agreement"—who said it was an agreement? Not imposed by Westminster ... BTW, the British NAA was enacted by Westminster, wasn't it? Needs to be said.
 * "provincial-level".
 * "learners" --> "students".
 * Redundant "also".
 * A whole column wasted on E, E, E, E. Since there are only one or two that aren't E, why not asterisk them alone, with a key?
 * Hate those one-item lists!
 * 17 ... 17.

And more. Needs a copy-edit. Can Gary et al. indicate whether they're intending to renovate this? Otherwise, it should be put out to pasture, and hopefully resubmitted. Tony  (talk)  08:29, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
