Government supports
pilot project
for rural child care
Rural and farm families in the
counties of La mb ton, Duffer in-
Simcoe, Northumberland and the
District of Timiskaming have been
targeted for the new child care
services according to the Minister
of Community and Social Services.
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.
