EXCERPTS:
Toronto-Danforth MPP Peter Tabuns is asking for input on topics people would like discussed as well as other stakeholders (either individuals or organizations) that should be invited to attend an upcoming forum on child care in east Toronto.
The meeting is set to take place Monday, Jan. 23 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Roden Public School, 151 Hiawatha Rd. All are welcome to attend.
Representatives from the Roden Child Care Centre and the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care as well as councillors Paula Fletcher and Mary Fragedakis and Toronto District School Board trustees Cathy Dandy and Sheila Cary-Meagher will all be on-hand to provide feedback and answer questions at the meeting.
Tabuns and Fletcher held an initial meeting on the topic in late November.
In a recent email, he said the aim is for constituents and child care stakeholders in Toronto-Danforth to play a leadership role in city-wide and province-wide efforts to preserve child care spaces and stabilize the daycare sector.
Further, Tabuns encouraged constituents to share their concerns with Minister of Education Lauren Broten and Andrea Calver, coordinator with the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care.
