John Sweeney recently an­ nounced that the Community and Social Services Ministry is working with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the Ontario Federa­ tion of Agriculture (OFA) to implement a range of flexible child care services by the spring. Mr. Sweeney said his ministry is “very interested in developing a flexible approach to child care that farm and rural fa mi lies will find more useful rather than the traditional centre-based care". “Mv ministry staff have initiat­ ed a preliminary needs survey involving interviews with a num- beroffarmfamilies throughout the province and the publication of a child care needs and preference survey in the Ministry of Agricul­ ture and Food’s publication, OMAF News”, he said. “Information from the survey will indicate the range of child care needs and preferences as well as provide a basis for us to design appropriate and flexible child care services for rural and farm fami­ lies The Minister also indicated that problems such as geographic isolation, transportation difficul- ies and low population densities have made it difficult to provide adequate child care. In addition. Mr. Sweeney said he was also responding to concerns raised by the OFA’s Rural Child Care Committee which has been studying the needs of rural Ontario families for the past year. Their report, issued recently, states that child care has become increasingly important as more and more farm families either require both parents to work full-time in the farm operation or one to assume an off-farm job. Agriculture and Food Minister Jack Riddell said he is “pleased with thecooperationofall those involved in this project, which is designed to address oneof the most pressing problems in rural Ontario today." Farm safety statistics have also shown that through the first 11 months of 1985, a total of seven children under the age of 16 died in farm accidents in Ontario - 27 per cent of the Province's total farm fatalities. The goal of the proposed serviceswillbetogenerate new service models which can respond to these problems and meet the clear needf or child care in rural parts of the Province.
