Provincial Wage Enhancement Grant Petition

We have partnered with the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care to launch a petition to continue the Provincial Wage Enhancement Grant to Registered Early Childhood Educators and early years staff in licensed child care.  This funding provides $2 per hour in wage support to many educators and it is critical that it continues.  Funding has not yet been confirmed beyond March 31, 2019.  The future of the grant is in the hands of the provincial government and will be decided by the Ontario Budget this spring. 

Print sign and share the petition today to tell the Ontario Government to maintain the $2 per hour wage enhancement.

• Petition in English or French to print and sign.  Please mail completed petitions to OCBCC/AECEO offices by February 14, 2019.
• Frequently Asked Questions - this will be helpful to post near the petition.

If you are interested in collecting signatures in your community to present directly to your local MPP, please write to [email protected] to become a local petition leader. 

Please note:  This is an official paper petition to the Ontario legislature.  Only paper originals (not copies, emails, or faxes) are accepted.  Signers must include their full address, including postal code, for the petition to be accepted by the legislature.
