Over 80 percent of victims reported that their performance was negatively impacted, and more than half said the abuse occurred at or near their workplace. Domestic Violence affects us all.

This is an exciting time to be part of the Vote Child Care 2015 campaign! With the hard work of activists and advocates, parents, ECEs and community members from across Canada, we see child care and family policy becoming a key election issue.  Now we build momentum. The goal of the Vote Child Care 2015 campaign is to firmly make child care an election issue, and take action to ensure the next federal government delivers universal, quality child care that is affordable for all families in Canada.
