October, 2003
Submission
to the BC Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services
Pre-Budget Consultation
The Advocacy Forum sends a strong message to the provincial government that
BC cannot work without child care, that funding levels must be restored to
2001/02 levels, that BC must have a 5 year plan for child care and that federal
dollars must be spent to complement, not replace, provincial spending.

Child
Care Advocacy Forum response to the current review of child care
licensing regulations
On April 8, 2002, the Honourable Katherine Whittred, Minister of State for
Intermediate, Long Term and Home Care introduced Bill 16, a new Community Care
Facility (CCF) Act. The new Act will govern the licensing of BC's residential
facilities for adults and children and 'child day care facilities'.

School
Closures Threaten Child Care
The Child Care Advocacy Forum is increasingly concerned about the serious impact
that school closures and changes to school calendars are having on child care
programs located in and on school grounds. While school-aged child care is
likely to be hit the hardest, many other programs will be affected.

Child
Care Advocacy Forum Reaffirms Common Vision and Agenda
The last few months have been difficult ones for child care advocates. After
the plan for publicly funded child care was repealed last summer, government's
intentions were not clear. We had more questions than answers. We want to thank
and acknowledge everyone who wrote, called and spoke up for families and children
as we watched and waited.
