SASK. PARTY INACTION ON CHILDCARE WILL COST JOBS

REGINA – The federal government has renewed its $10/day daycare program for another five years, benefiting families across Canada. But Saskatchewan was missing from the list of provinces that signed on.

Affordable, accessible childcare is critical for families and the economy. Without it, parents struggle to work, and communities suffer.

“The Sask. Party government failed to act on tariffs, refused to join the national school food program, and now they’re ignoring a childcare crisis,” said Joan Pratchler, Shadow Minister for Childcare and Early Learning. “They should be ashamed.”

Childcare centers, many of which are non-profits, rely on this funding to stay open and support local jobs — especially in rural areas. Without it, families and entire communities will be left scrambling.

On February 17, childcare advocates wrote to Minister Hindley urging action, but months later, there’s still no response.

“The Sask. Party needs to stop hiding and do its job,” said Pratchler. “The Sask. Party must immediately sign the childcare deal and save these jobs.”
