Mother's Voices on how we fund child care

The New Brunswick Child Care Coalition is coordinating a new initiative called the Mother's Voices Project. We believe that mothers have the solutions to improving child care programs in New Brunswick and want to tap into their expertise.

The project includes a number of workshops throughout the province this fall. During these workshops, participants will look at different ways to fund child care and will discuss what will work in their community.

Hot Topics: Canada's Birth Rate Up, Child Care and The Economy
  On The Ground
Helping young children learn is the best investment we can make 
Vancouver Sun - Sept 17, 2009 
While British Columbians and our media focus on the provincial debt and budget deficits, we are ignoring a critical economic issue that could cost our provincial economy more than $400 billion over the next 60 years.

Statistics Canada on Births in 2007
Government of Canada Website
Canadian women gave birth to 367,864 babies in Canada in 2007, up 13,247 or 3.7% from 2006 and the fastest annual increase since 1989.


Higher birth rate isn't enough to offset deaths: StatsCan
Canadian Press - Sept 22, 2009
OTTAWA - Women across most of Canada had babies at a higher rate and a later age in 2007, an increase that child-care advocates say will continue to fray the national patchwork of early education.

More babies are being born in New Brunswick
Telegraph Journal - Sept 23, 2009
FREDERICTON - More New Brunswick woman gave birth in 2007, according to numbers released Tuesday by Statistics Canada.
That's encouraging for government officials trying to encourage growth in the province's population, but worrisome for others who fear more burden being placed on an already strained child-care system.
