Quality child care can give you peace of mind and help you balance family and work. What’s more, it has a positive impact on your child’s physical, emotional, social and intellectual development. Finding a quality child care setting takes time, research and hard work. But it’s well worth the effort since your child’s well being is at stake. This step-by-step guide can help you find quality child care. But it’s by no means comprehensive. Parents are strongly encouraged to do more research on quality care. The local’s child care resource centre is a good place to start.

Research shows that high quality child care plays a positive and long-lasting role in the social and intellectual development of children, no matter what their social, cultural and economic background. Lack of access to high quality child care can cause high stress for working parents: worry about their children's well being while at work, and conflicts with employers and co-workers due to lateness or absences. Lack of high quality child care also keeps women from entering and participating fully in the paid labour force.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is one of a very few unions in North America to negotiate a Child Care Fund to support members with their child care needs. In 1997 CUPW commissioned SpeciaLink (a research and resource agency specializing in child care issues involving children with special needs) to examine the impact on members’ work and family lives when parenting a child with special needs. CUPW wanted to find out if the supports provided through the Child Care Fund were helpful to CUPW families and their children with special needs.

Support Postal Banking - Download and Sign the Petition

Canada needs a postal bank. Thousands of rural towns and villages in our country do not have a bank, but many of them have a post office that could provide financial services. As well, nearly two million Canadians desperately need an alternative to payday lenders. A postal bank could be that alternative. Download and sign the petition urging the Government of Canada to instruct Canada Post to add postal banking, with a mandate for financial inclusion.
