The Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, Ahmed Hussen, announced a call for applications for the National Advisory Council on Early Learning and Child Care.
The Council will play an active role in representing the early learning and child care sector and providing expert advice to the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development and the Minister for Women and Gender Equality. The Council will also serve as a forum for consultation on issues and challenges facing the early learning and child care sector as the federal government moves forward with building a Canada-wide early learning and child care system that works for everyone.
The Government of Canada is looking for individuals with knowledge and experience from across the early learning and child care sector to be part of the Council. These experts include:
- academics and advocates, such as professors, researchers and foundation leaders;
- practitioners, such as early childhood educators, child care service providers and union representatives; and
- individuals with experience in a caregiving capacity for children aged 0-5, such as parents, grandparents and guardians.
Canadians interested in being part of the Council must apply by September 28, 2021, 11:59 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.
