BREAKING: Ontario is extending the deadline for child-care operators to apply for the $10-a-day program.
The Canadian Press has obtained a letter sent today to municipalities informing them that the deadline is being extended from Sept. 1 to Nov. 1, to allow operators more time to make decisions and ensure more parents can see savings.
A senior government source says operators who have already opted out will be able to rethink their decision in light of the changes and opt in, if they choose. Just a few weeks ahead of September, uptake varies widely across municipalities, with some -- particularly smaller areas -- seeing all or nearly all operators apply, while other regions are seeing less than half of operators applying so far.
