Excerpt: "But more families need access to affordable child care. That’s why, today in Regina, the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, and the Honourable Kamal Khera, Minister of Diversity, Inclusion and Persons with Disabilities, on behalf of the Honourable Jenna Sudds, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, joined Sameema Haque, Assistant Deputy Minister of Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Education, to announce $27.7 million over four years, with $19.1 million through 2025–2026, to help build more inclusive child care spaces across Saskatchewan through the Government of Canada’s $625-million Early Learning and Child Care Infrastructure Fund. This investment will help Saskatchewan reach the shared goal of building 28,000 new child care spaces by 2026. Through this Fund, all provinces and territories will be able to make further investments in child care, so more families can save up to $14,300 on child care every year, per child."
