CUPE Sask, Child Care Now Sask, the Sask NDP and fellow advocates will be speaking at a joint press conference 10am Mon, Sept 29, at the Sask Legislature. Join us in calling on the province to renew the $10/day child care deal, and follow through on their promises! #skpoli
📣 Parents, educators, and allies—your voice matters! Use our easy online tool to tell the provincial government: child care must stay a priority. Let your MLA know you support $10/day child care and public programs that families can count on. Sign here: win.newmode.net/childcarenowsa…
Child care advocates introduce new tools to “educate” MLAs about affordable day care. Read the full story at revuecommunitynews.com #Childcare #daycare #10dollaraDay #parenting
New report 📄! 83% of Canadians agree Canada should be a country where affordable, high-quality child care is available to all who need it. Read our latest public opinion poll with @Environics_Inst & @YWCA_Canada & coverage in @globeandmail by Dave McGinn: ymca.ca/en/news-storie…
New National Survey Finds Overwhelming Support for Affordable Child Care in Canada ywcacanada.ca/news/new-natio… @YWCA_Canada #ChildCare #ECinCanada
In April, we met with Minister Hindley about $10-a-day child care. Parents are leaving, and 38% of centres risk closing within a year. His response? No emergency support, and no plan. Saskatchewan families deserve better! Join us—send a letter today. ow.ly/vwxo50WKenq
Now that fees are falling fast, the real challenge is space creation. Without strong public planning, for-profits will keep expanding in the easiest places—not where kids actually live. We need more proactive planning to hit the targets and do it with non-profit spaces. (8/10)
The program was supposed to grow public and non-profit child care. Instead, it’s become a cash cow for private operators who dominate the growth: • 57% of new spaces since 2022 are for-profit • Only 30% are non-profit or public (6/10)
Overachievers who are above their space creation targets: NB, BC & PEI Already have decent coverage: Quebec and PEI Strugglers: MB & SK: only a fraction of their goals Progress is uneven—and often behind. (3/10)
Canada’s $10-a-day #childcare program is cutting fees—but is it creating enough spaces? My new report from @ccpa shows big promises, mixed results, and a growing role for for-profit care. Here’s what the data tells us🧵👇👇👇

Regina and Saskatoon have improved their access since 2023, but are still home to significant child care deserts, with 47 per cent of children in Saskatoon living in a child care desert versus 38 per cent in Regina. 5/6
Estevan, Martensville, Yorkton and Warman are some of Saskatchewan’s least accessible cities and towns, with fully 100 per cent of their preschool age children living in a childcare desert. 4/6
Swift Current boasts some of the best childcare access in the province, with 87 percent of the city with adequate (5.9 spaces per 10 children) coverage 3/6
Less than 1/4 of the spaces promised is not a good look and the Minister can't just keep blaming the feds for decisions under the province's control. No more excuses! #skpoli

Thanks to the @ccpa for their hard work updating this database each year. Pretty sad statistics about the progress on $10/day child care in Sask compared to the rest of the country however. #skpoli
"The survey, conducted by Child Care Now Saskatchewan and shared by the Opposition NDP on Friday, revealed that more than 77 per cent of respondents feel they would be unable to continue offering $10-a-day childcare." #skpoli

"The money will, inevitably come primarily from trimming things that really matter to Canadians like health, education and social programs."

Martha Friendly and Susan Prentice recently published an occasional paper for the Childcare Resource and Research Unit - about the history of non-profit child care delivery in Sask, and solutions to some of our current challenges. Find the link to the paper in our bio! #skpoli
