The Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care is conducting a survey. The results of the survey will be used to produce a report on the state of child care in Ontario. We may quote you, but we will not use your name, just your city. There are a total of 25 questions. The survey should take 5 minutes.The survey can be taken online at:

www.childcareontario.org/iam

The IAMAW has been an affiliate of the OCBCC for some time and we have been actively involved in trying to ensure that child care is affordable.

Are you a parent?
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and the OCBCC wants to hear about your experiences with child care in Ontario.

Licensed child care in Ontario costs upward of $40-$60 per day, per child. There are only licensed spaces for 1 in 5 of Ontario’s children. In many municipalities, subsidy wait lists are incredibly long.

It doesn’t have to be this way.  Be part of a movement of parents.  Decision makers need to hear your stories about child care in Ontario

Get Involved

This parent survey is being conducted by the Canadian Federation of Students and the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care.
