Universal Childcare

Last week Olivia Chow hosted a meeting to discuss universal childcare and universal food programs for Canadian children. It just so happens that Parents for Action Now was looking for a new topic to kick start its activities. Childcare is just the issue.

What is it that families are needing in a universal childcare program? We will be holding a World Cafe to discuss this topic and to figure out where to go next in raising our voices to be heard about childcare needs for local families.

Come and join us on Wednesday evening at St. Christopher House. It is located at the corner of Ossington and Dundas. We will be there from 6-8:00 p.m.

Hi everyone:

Today Mandy facilitated a world cafe to help those community developers who participated in three days of workshops and sharing at the 2nd annual TCDI conference held at George Brown College.

The world cafe discussion was exciting. And the buzz in the room about the learning was amazing.

To find out what happened at the TCDI conference check out http://www.torontocdi.ca/

There are blogs associated with the site and they are a fabulous way to connect with others. Within the next several weeks resources from the workshops will be shared.

Keep coming back.

Until then, if you have a burning issue for a community conversation please share it with us. Together we can kick start dialogue in your community.
