Once a leader in $10-a-day child care, B.C. now lags behind: report

British Columbia, which once led the nation in offering $10-a-day child care, now finds itself trailing behind other provinces in terms of affordable child care, per a recent report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. The study highlights that out of 35 cities surveyed, the five cities in B.C. are the most expensive for child care. This shift is significant because affordable child care is crucial for supporting working families and promoting economic mobility, and B.C.'s decline could affect parents' ability to balance work and childcare.
