Wow! BC Budget 2023 Estimates (p60) confirm new record - combined fed/prov #childcare funding of $1.65 billion in 23/24 - historic investment! @10aDayPlan

And, to further advance decolonized funding structures by providing more than a “living wage” to Indigenous staff we must provide them with a thriving wage so that families can transcend conditions of scarcity. Thank you @10aDayPlan@MVAEC for this statement.
"What we're finding is, there are not enough qualified early childhood educators to even staff the licenced spaces that we have. And this is true for every jurisdiction of Canada," Ballantyne said. https://t.co/mtSAIdw6HV
If the federal government wants to deliver on a Just Transition in 2023, it must create the institutions to fund local success.

Federal child care legislation introduced. Bill C-35. The vision and principles set out in this Bill is exactly what we called for. Congratulations to all. Of course there is a lot of work to do. But take a moment to celebrate. Here's the text https://t.co/nOi2tuIrfK
In fact, we can't afford NOT to address the costs of child care and the compensation of child care educators! Glad to see @RepRoKhanna bringing the $10 a Day concept to America -- it's easy to understand, especially when paired with wage scales so early educators are paid well.
Dear Katrina, huge respect for your strength in standing up for your son & yourself - and such sadness that you need to step away from the important #ChildCareBC work that you have led with such tenacity and thoughtfulness. @KatrinaCBurnaby
We mourn and treasure the lives lost to gender-based violence on this day in 1989 & on every day of every year. We will never stop fighting from freedom from misogynistic violence, which is so often also colonial, racist, transphobic, ableist & classist violence. #EndGBV#EndVAW

Nov 30 is a Canada-wide Day of Action for Child Care. As the Province moves forward w/ implementing the $10 a day Child Care plan, it’s impt to recognize that quality, affordable child care can't happen w/o the educators.
