Today, we add our voice to the many women, mothers, economists, academics, and early-childhood experts calling for the creation of affordable and high-quality early-learning and child-care programs throughout the country.
The pandemic has driven more than 16,000 women out of the workforce, while the male workforce has grown by 91,000. We need to make sure that the road to recovery considers the critical needs of families with young children, so that mothers can participate in the labour force with the confidence that their children are learning and receiving the care they need before they go to school.

Low-Income Canadians Face 'Abusive' Lending Rates Even In Pandemic

ACORN/Supplied
Donna Borden, an ACORN member, advocates for stricter regulations of lenders selling high interest instalment and payday loans.
A single mother working the front desks at both a hospital and a nursing home, Donna Borden watched her debts grow.
On top of Toronto’s cost of living, Borden was juggling bills left behind when her mother died, plus helping her son buy university textbooks.
“I was trying to keep a roof over our heads,” Borden told HuffPost Canada.
Her bank refused to consolidate her debts and recommended she use the lender Fairstone Financial, then called CitiFinancial, Borden said. She took out an instalment loan in 2008 — $10,000 to be paid back over five years with about 40 per cent interest.
