CATCH Questionnaire

|
The Community Action Toward Children's Health (CATCH) coalition asked all candidates for School Trustee to provide answers to the following questions:
- If elected, what will you do to increase the number of child care spaces in our community?
- If elected, will you endorse (or advocate for) the $10 a day childcare plan?
- If elected, what will you do to reduce rising vulnerability among young children in your community?
- If elected, will you endorse and/or advocate for a poverty reduction plan for BC?
- Many poor children come from working families. The municipal government has a responsibility to avoid contributing to the problem of low wage poverty. If elected will you commit to adopting a municipal bylaw requiring the municipality to pay a living wage to both its employees and contract staff?
- School and community centre fees remain a significant barrier to low-income families. If elected how will you ensure that children and families have equal access to school and community programs?
