Alberta Views magazine gets ahead of a good story about day care in the province

Good timing is always to be wished and the editors at Alberta Views magazine must be pleased for having published the case for universal day care in its October issue. Because Alberta's government today announced it is introducing a $25-a-day daycare pilot program in 18 centres in the province, creating up to 1,000 new child care spaces. 

The prescient magazine article was written by Tom Langford, a sociology professor at the University of Calgary and the author of Alberta's Day Care Controversy. Premier Rachel Notley said the $10 million pilot project will be a step towards a province-wide system.
