Following months of advocacy, child care funding cuts have been put on hold. We must double down on our campaigning to secure gains for next year.

Our petition to stop the cuts to child care was a great success; the Ford government has put some of their previously announced cuts to child care on hold for 2019!

The Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care called for a Day of Action on Wednesday May 22nd, 2019 for leafleting and petition collection about the province’s child care cuts at child care centres all across Ontario.

Bowing to pressure from the community, the Ford government has reversed planned cuts for child care for this year. The cuts are on hold and we need to keep advocating to protect child care services for next year and beyond.

At the OCBCC, we advocate for accessible, affordable, and high quality child care. The fact sheet below outlines some of the issues that Ontario's child care system is currently facing, as well as the role that the OCBCC plays in advocating for positive change.
