Prime Minister Justin Trudeau quietly visited St. Thomas Monday morning to announce the federal government will provide the province with $201.87 million to create child care spaces and support inclusive child care services across Ontario, especially in underserved communities. He made the announcement at the 88-space Stationview Child Care Centre on St. Catharine Street which officially opened last November. This investment, part of the previously announced $625 million Early Learning and Child Care Infrastructure Fund, will help Ontario reach its goal of creating 86,000 new child care spaces by 2026.
