Ontario's announcement of 2,900 new child care spaces in Ottawa comes as the industry deals with a staffing crisis.
Education Minister Stephen Lecce was in Nepean on Thursday to announce 2,900 additional spaces at licensed facilities.
Ottawa resident Amal Samha waited months for a spot for her son at a local licensed child care facility. Samha says she has to walk upwards of an hour a day to get her son to and from the facility, but the location closer to home was an even longer wait. The province is promising more than $178 million in 2023 as part of the Canada-wide early learning and child care system.
