Excerpt: "The governments of Canada and Manitoba are providing $45.9 million in one-time funding under the Canada-Manitoba Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child-Care Agreement to support the implementation of quality enhancement grants to fund programming for children under the age of seven. The Manitoba government is contributing an additional $14 million to ensure equitable support is available for school-aged programming within the sector that serves children ages seven to 12. “Our government is committed to making quality child-care more accessible for Manitoba families,” said Ewasko. “These grants will help early learning and child-care providers make immediate investments into facilities and staff to support high-quality learning for children across the province and a stronger, more responsive early learning and child-care system for Manitoba families.”"
