Happy to host @R_Boissonnault and @MattJonesYYC to highlight the achievements in affordable child care—fees are now down to $15/day. It was very special to hear a YMCA Child Care parent share what affordable care has meant to her family. For many, it has been life-changing.

Much like @YMCAGTA, our Y is balancing the demand for child care with a significant shortage of Early Childhood Educators. As western Canada's largest nonprofit child care provider, we know how critical child care is critical to our economy and to families in #alberta. #ableg
@canadahelps reports that 57% of Canadian charities can't keep up with demand for services. Organizations like the Y are keenly feeling this as our community continues to recover from the pandemic
