Election 2021
Help create an ELCC system that works
How can you help create an Early Learning and Child Care (ELCC) system that works?
The federal budget announced by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland committed historic investments in child care, with enormous economic payoff for parents, children and the economy.Â
A national child care program would also focus on inclusion for all social and economic backgrounds and ensure availability of services for rural, remote, newcomer and under-represented communities.
With a federal election on the horizon, how can we
make sure elected officials know this is a critical issue?Â
How to get involved:
