A lack of available childcare slots and childcare employees leads to longer childcare wait times and higher costs. This contributes to young people delaying starting families and reduces the number of young people in the workforce. Stay Work Play supports measures to increase both the availability and affordability of childcare.

Note: 2021 childcare legislation is currently being reviewed by the Stay Work Play Advocacy Committee. Once this review is complete and policy positions are approved by the Stay Work Play Board of Directors, the legislation on which the organization will advocate will be posted here.
