It’s wonderful that the Region holds events to get feedback on the
powerful, inclusive and
this Region This was great, I hope this information is helpful and helps funding be disbursed as needed through for- profit and non-profit sectors The Resolution that is in place is a huge barrier and needs to be eliminated…

Current State 2009 Resolution
precludes 87 for-profit providers from entering into fee subsidy agreement. Limited access for families to subsidized spaces in some areas. Increased local enhancements to support quality.
Repeal of 2009 Resolution Up to 5,600 licensed spaces accessible to families in receipt of fee subsidy (85% of spaces are for 0-3.8 yrs). Best practices support fee subsidy follows the child. Increased Choice and Access Better outcomes for children and families. Families in receipt of fee subsidy have more choice and access to licensed spaces. Aligns with Provincial best practice.
