Global news is airing a 2 part segment about "$10 a day" childcare.

$10-a-day child care deal “bad deal” for private operators in Alberta | Globalnews.ca "I think you're going to see less small businesses, less people like myself, opening up centres because the risk is huge."

There's still time to apply for the Working Parents Benefit. If you're eligible, submit your application by March 31.

The benefit provides a payment of $561 per child to eligible parents who used licensed or unlicensed child care between April and December 2020.

A MyAlberta Digital ID is required to apply. You won’t need to wait to receive your activation code to apply for the benefit – but your driver’s licence or provincial ID will need to be current to set up the account. Make sure it’s not expired to avoid application delays: account.alberta.ca

➡️ you paid at least $561 or more for 3 months of child care services between April 1 and December 31, 2020 (bill or invoice required)
➡️ you have an annual gross household income of $100,000 or less
