Reimagining Care/Work Policies

Who Owns Child Care? Who Should Own Child Care?

On April 4th and 5th 2024 we hosted the “Who Owns Child Care? Who Should Own Child Care” Symposium virtually and in person at the University of Manitoba. This event explored the issues and challenges associated with the delivery of non-profit, for-profit, and public child care and was organized in collaboration with the Duff Roblin Professor of Government and the Childcare Resource and Research Unit.
