Online registration is open for essential workers with young children seeking to access four new City of Toronto emergency child-care centres during the COVID-19 crisis. The emergency daycares, a first for Ontario, will be in existing, city-run, licensed facilities staffed by city child-care workers around the clock, seven days a week, for children under age 12. Also eligible are city staff required to report to an official work location to deliver core essential services. If demand exceeds spots, the city will give priority access to front-line health care workers and first responders. That’s not fair if they aren’t taking care of your children,” he added after announcing new fines and jail terms for price gouging.
