Changing economics have forced many farmers to forego hiring additional help or to seek off -farm employ- ment, leaving the need for rural child care quite urgent. The CFW is willing to look into this area and provide child care op- tions to people in Bruce County's rural communities.

They would like to know if you need child care and in what form (full day, half day, year round, seasonally, drop-in; child care centre, neighbour's home, your own home; nursery school, after school, play group, toy lending libraries, resource centres). They would like information on the ages of children requiring care, appropriate cost, and what might prevent you from using any of the services. Letters and inquiries may be directed to Collette Beaupre, Box 352, Teeswater.
