ACCESSIBILITY, UNIVERSALITY, QUALITY
Our goal is for a broad family policy that supports and integrates fully accessible, publicly–funded, not for profit system of high quality childcare, with living wages and good working conditions for childcare staff.
We use “childcare” to mean early childhood care and development services for children 0-12 years. We believe childcare can support all children’s healthy development and parents in all their roles – whether parents are employed, in training, or at-home.
This family policy includes; a coordinated and integrated system of programs and services, including licensed full and part-time group and family childcare, parent-child drop-in centres, pre-schools, resource and toy-lending libraries and other childcare supports for children and their parents.
We support an inclusive, diverse and accessible childcare system because as parents and researchers know, that high quality childcare is good for children, women, employers and all Saskatchewan people.
Childcare is an excellent public investment supported by extensive, credible research. For every dollar invested in quality child care the return is between two and seventeen dollars in social benefits.

At great social, environmental, cultural and economic cost to our communities, our neighbourhood schools are being demolished. Schools you can walk to are being replaced by big box schools you must drive to. Demolition rather than renovation, retrofitting and upgrading is presented as the only option. In the process, the proven advantages of small school education in a neighbourhood setting are being lost. There are no significant cost savings associated with this plan, and many new expenses in transportation and construction.
Help be a part of the solution by joining in on building a new, community-centred, sustainable vision for our schools and neighbourhoods.
