Opportunity to speak with the media!!!!!

[Wonderwiper]

So.......I have been contacted by Stephen LeDrew from CP24 toronto to speak about our concerns with the proposed changes to the daycare act.

I am a terrible public speaker and don't feel I am knowledgeable enough about the proposals to express our concerns properly. If anyone would be interested in this opportunity please let me know!

There are so many ladies on here that would represent us brilliantly.

Is anyone in touch with Inspired by Reggio? She knows this business inside and out and appears quite well spoken. Treeholm is quite articulate as well. I can think of a number of ladies in here, but those are 2 great ones off the top of my head.

i'll do it. but I'm not sure how interested they would be in me since the star already did a piece on me. but there were some really important points I made to that reporter that didn't get published

[Cadillac]

Why don't we all give you ideas on what to say?

Inspired by Reggio is one of the main contributors to the FB page "ontario families and home childcare providers against bill 143". I recognized her writing style . She is in the London area I believe.

Wonderwiper, how did they get a hold of you? Was this a result of your letter writing?

So who's doing it, don't want this to get missed because everyone thinks someone else will do it.

Cadillac, I had read your article in the Star, thought it was nice to finally see a good one. Might be smarter though to get someone new so it doesn't look like this is just one child care providers
opinion.

I had thought of you Cfred as well. Although Playfelt, Sunnydays, Treeholme, and many others would all be awesome. Maybe it is a good idea for it to be someone who has been doing this for a while and even someone who came from centre care as they know what "licensed" looks like.

I'm thinking instead, why not YOU, cfred? You're knowledgeable and well-written. (often translates into articulate/well-spoken also)

Thanks so much for the compliment jammiesandtea and Torontokids! I would have loved to, but I've just come home today from a surgery to a large portion of my face. I'm looking very gruesome at the moment and am hopped up on Percocet and hydramorphin. Articulate has gone right out the window for a week or so. Best to find someone less Frankensteinish

However, I'm happy to contribute experiences from centres if it's of any use. Please let me know if there's anything I can do from the sidelines.
