The operating loss comes in with needy families who can't afford to pay the rates, she said. They take a means test to deter- mine how much they can afford to pay. Also, a number of municipalities have set their fees lower than they should have and the ministry is in the process of mov- ing those fees up. "Day care is a sticky question right now because of a policy paper that's been in the -wind for six months which I suspect will be about indirect subsidies," she said. If the provincial government removes indirect subsidies from day care centres, costs to parents could more than double, she said adding that she personally doesn't believe that will happen. While $15 ,a day is now the average fee for day care, parents at the meeting said they'd be willing to pay as much as $20 a day. "We never asked for free day care but if the rates were $30 a day, we'd all be apply- ing for means tests," said parent Brian Donald. Coun. John Stringer suggested the com- mittee and the parents lobby the provin- cial government not to change the day care legislation so that rates for parents will not increase. Parents at the meeting responded that they had already 'written' to Huron Bruce MP Murray Cardiff, Huron -Bruce MPP Murray Elston and Huron -Middlesex MPP Jack Riddell. "hidden told us the province can't do anything for us until the municipality does something about day care," said one parent. C°the 0co-operi1toI Insurance Services GODERICH: 31 West Street, 524.2138 LIFE HOME AUTO COMMERCIALFARM TRAVEL yALLL �1T,O The costs involved in renovating the Goderich Municipal Day Nursery to in- clude a day care centre will be researched by Judy Cooper, of the Ministry of Com- munity and Social Services. Since the day nursery is zoned for a day care centre, an immediate solution to the need for a day care centre by July 31 could be resolved if the nursery school can be renovated, Cooper told day care parents and members of the day care committee at a meeting last Thursday morning. "Have you looked at the centre in (the town of) St. Marys? It runs a nursery school and day care in the same building. and it works quite well," she said. Clerk -Administrator Larry McCabe said using the nursery building may present a conflict with the squash club that uses the same facility. As well, Cooper said the parents should also research local church basements as possible interim sites for day care once the July 31 eviction date arrives. "As long as the facility has the right zon- ing and fire and health approval, it'll be okay. It has to be safe, clean and in the right area," she said. "I would hope 'that an all-out search could be made to all facilities that are presently CF -1," Coun. Bill Clifford.said to the parents. Cooper said Goderich and the surroun- ding emn „Inity could probably support a centre licenced for 40 children, opposed to the licence for 24 at the K Day Care Centre. She said the province will financially support a day care centre which is run by either a municipality or a non-profit incor- porated community group. The centre would be expected to set rates which would cover the operating costs and the operating,loss would be fund- Summer is here!
