A new bill aimed at strengthening child care safety in Alberta will be tabled in the Legislature on Wednesday. Several child care centres across the province have been subjected to closures in months past for varying health and safety violations.
In August, three calgary daycare programs were forced to close their doors after the government said they posed an “imminent danger” to the health and safety of kids.
Earlier this month, two daycares in Edmonton were closed over safety concerns.
The province has said compliance issues are often found through routine inspections of licensed child care programs and the goal is to work together to ensure centres are following the rules. More details on the proposed law will be available when it’s tabled in the legislature sometime Wednesday afternoon.
