The Government of Canada and Government of Manitoba are taking action to support child-care across the province—including in Indigenous communities—in the form of new spaces and training opportunities for professionals. Canada and MB signed an action plan that details how MB will use federal funds to create new child-care spaces in health-care facilities, schools, and postsecondary institutions. Two Indigenous organizations—the Manitoba Métis Federation and the Urban Circle Training Centre—are among those that have received funds to support professional training and curriculum. Schools such as Red River College Polytechnic and University College of the North’s Thompson campus will also receive funds for new child-care spaces.
