Government ECE Initiatives - Archives
Government initiatives at the federal or provincial/territorial level can determine
the level of investment in child care and affect how funds are spent. However, the way
government initiatives unfold can vary significantly by province or territory.
This section provides links to detailed information on government child care
initiatives and their potential impact on the child care workforce.
