Read MorePetition: Stop Ford's Child Care Cuts→
/
Child Care in Toronto is already the most expensive in the country [1]. And now, according to a new City of Toronto report, Doug Ford is cutting at least $15 million a year from Toronto child care - which could rise to $49 million a year once much-needed new child care centres are opened. This immediately puts over 700 affordable child care spaces at risk.
But Ford has backed down on his cuts before after hearing from thousands of people. Use our form now to send a message to Ford, his Minister of Children, Community and Social Services, your MPP, and Toronto City Council today. Click here to sign the Petition
