Ontario budget cuts put 760 affordable child-care spaces at risk in Toronto, city staff say
Toronto is now facing a $15 million gap to fund affordable child-care spaces in the wake of provincial budget cuts, a new report says, what advocates are calling a “reckless” and “thoughtless” move by Premier Doug Ford. If city council can’t find the money to fill the gap left by Ford’s government, city staff now say, it could mean a loss of 760 subsidized spaces in 2020 — which would “result in a return to pre-2018 levels” of available subsidies.
