Extension of the $10 a Day Child Care Plan
Oxfam Canada, alongside child care advocates, parents, and educators, celebrates the extension of the $10 a Day Child Care Plan until 2031. This $36.8 billion federal investment is a critical step in ensuring affordable child care remains a cornerstone of Canada’s infrastructure, benefiting families, children, and the economy.
With most provinces and territories on board, this plan supports Canada’s economic security and growth, creating jobs and generating $2.80 for every dollar invested in child care.
We will continue advocating for improved conditions for early childhood educators and the expansion of non-profit and public child care to meet rising demand. This is a win for families and a step toward a stronger, more equitable future for Canada.
