We can have better childcare in Vancouver - Community Meeting

Did you know that Vancouver is the only city in Canada to integrate city, school and parks resources to directly invest in creating new child care spaces? But even with municipal leadership, the lack of adequate federal or provincial funding means that child care spaces are hard to find in Vancouver, and the costs of child care con­tinue to rise.

On Tuesday May 29th, join us for a conversation on better childcare in Vancouver. High quality, affordable child care that pays for itself is possible in Vancouver. Find out about the Community Plan for a Public System of Integrated Early Care and Learning, which builds on successful child care models in Quebec and Ontario, and how we can make $10/day childcare a reality in Vancouver.

Presenters:

• Sharon Gregson, BC Coalition of Childcare Advocates
• Constance Barnes, Park Board Commissioner
• Cherie Payne, School Board Trustee
• Andrea Reimer, City Councillor
