Child Care Funding Supported

Delegates at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario Conference in Ottawa have supported a call for federal funding to support child care in Ontario.

The federal government is ending its support for child care next March forcing some municipalities to either close child care spaces or fund the programs through increased property taxes.

AMO president Peter Hume says both senior levels of government need to find a solution that does not leave municipal property taxpayers, young families and children hanging in the lurch.
