The Ontario Greens’ deputy leader, Aislinn Clancy, has called for immediate government intervention following the closure of a Toronto daycare, leaving 100 families without childcare. The province’s ongoing childcare crisis is exacerbated by a flawed revenue replacement model, pushing operators into unsustainable debt and threatening more closures. With over half of Ontario’s children living in childcare deserts, Clancy emphasizes the need for improved access to affordable childcare, urging the Ford government to collaborate with the federal government to update funding formulas and invest in the childcare workforce.
