In a midsummer update, Wilfrid Laurier University president Max Blouw states it remains uncertain whether a Milton campus will be part of WLU's future, but ongoing discussions include the Ontario government, the Town of Milton, and the Region of Halton. These remarks follow a description of a 5-year enrolment projection, which estimates 2,027 students by 2015 for the proposed Milton campus. WLU is projecting an increase of 819 foreign students by 2015 for a total enrolment of 12,962 undergraduates at the Waterloo campus, while the Brantford campus is expected to grow from 2,000 students to 4,500 over this period. WLU has also submitted to the Ontario government a 10-year capital plan, which includes the construction of the first phase of a campus in Milton on the 150-acre parcel of land the Town of Milton will donate to WLU if the campus goes forward.
