Huge news on childcare in Nova Scotia!

We know that childcare fees cost families thousands of dollars each year and have been a consistent barrier for parents, and disproportionately women, who wish to pursue an education or seek to enter the workforce.

Minister Karina Gould visited Nova Scotia today to formally announce that by the end of this year, our province will see a 50% reduction in the cost of childcare, saving families around $500 every month, or $6,000 a year!

We are continuing our work towards lowering fees even further and will reach an average of just $10 a day by 2026 which will save households money, create jobs, and grow our economy.

This is smart policy, and I look forward to seeing families in our community benefit from these savings!
