Complex Future Still Uncertain

Fort Frances town officials say they're still uncertain what the impact Ontario's early learning program will have on the local Children's Complex.

Children as young as young as four could be attending full-day kindergarten in Fort Frances schools by the fall of 2011.

Chair of the town's Community Services Committee Councillor Andrew Hallikas says the impact on local day care services is still unknown.

"We have had meetings with local representatives of the boards of education, provincial representatives and current child care deliverers in the district," says Hallikas, "and the full impact of these changes is not yet clear."

The province is moving to make early learning available in all schools by 2014.
