This Coalition was started recently by three Ottawa providers who felt a need to educate the public and government about Bill 10 and it's imminent negative effects on childcare, home daycares and children, despite Kathleen Wynne's assertion that it is in the name of safety and accessibility.
In a little over a month, we have over 600 members on our FB page, Coalition of Independent Childcare Providers of Ontario, with Team Leads in 14 cities across Ontario. We are planning a Provincial Day of Action as a means of garnering media attention to Independent Providers and how this will impact us. The more parents and providers that attend this day and join our cause, the more the government will have to take notice and include us more adequately in this Bill. Please consider joining and if you dont' already know about Bill 10, you can learn more at http://whatisbill10.weebly.com/
