Cooperative Agency - ONTARIO

[lplplp]

Thank you for the information cfred. What I'm asking, is maybe for a more detailed breakdown of exactly where my annual fee would be going? I understand it's only in the works now, so maybe a question for a later time. I'm not behind the scenes, so I'm unaware of the costs involved in running the agency. I definitely don't think anyone is just trying to make a buck. I do believe a solution is trying to be found for us. I just wonder if the price has to be so high in order to show that we are making an effort and wanting to look professional.

I understand we won't be forced to join. But if it comes to light, joining sounds like the only option. If there becomes an agency for ICP's, parents will definitely wonder why any ICP doesn't belong to the agency and of course will go for one that does. I'm not completely opposed to joining, just seems like a high price. What if we feel that we don't need the support/mentoring, resources, etc.? How much of the annual fee goes towards the inspections, and what else is our membership fee going towards exactly?

I've asked around and heard some conflicting information about UCC. Some say there will only be a certain number of UCC spaces available. Do we know if this is true? If it is, once the spaces are full, won't parents have to go with an ICP whether we are licensed or not?
