ASK IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
This year during elections, ask your canvassers and party leaders how they plan to support an integrated approach to childhood development, and more specifically during the critical hours (before and after school).
We have created some fact cards and questions to help direct you during your conversations, arming you with knowledge.
We want to let all parties know that Afterschool programs need to be a priority in Alberta!
