The Ontario government must sign the extension agreement right away to secure the future of $10aDay child care.
The Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) system has been a game changer for hundreds of thousands of families, who have seen their child care fees reduced - vital financial relief when they need it most. Canada is finally building a real, publicly funded child care system. And while we still have work to do to ensure quality care for every family and decent work for ECEs, now is the time to keep building our new system.
We are asking you to stand up with ECEs, child care workers, families and children by sending a message to your MP, MPP, Premier Doug Ford, and Ontario’s Minister of Education Paul Calandra.

Look no further! The OCBCC Networking Series is here for you in 2024-2025! Each month we will explore another topic in a variety of formats to support our members. Topics we've covered so far this year-
- Navigating the new funding formula
-
10 Days for $10-a-day & decent pay - community advocacy
- AECEO, HCCA, OCBCC - Licensed home child care & the new funding formula

We know that decent work and pay are essential for building a sustainable, quality child care system - and ECEs and child care workers deserve it. Eight provinces and territories have created provincial wage grids, but not Ontario. Join us Wednesday, June 18th at noon for an interactive session with the OCBCC and AECEO teams to learn about what's next in our joint campaign for a provincial wage grid, benefits and pensions for early learning and child care in Ontario.
