With childcare being a central election issue, Parent Night will break down the key platform commitments of each federal party and examine how these proposals may impact affordability, accessibility, parental choice, and the long-term sustainability of Canada’s childcare system.

“This is about helping Canadian families understand what’s at stake,” said Krystal Churcher, Board Chair of AACE. “Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, or simply a voter who cares about the well-being of children and families—this is your chance to learn, ask questions, and be part of the conversation.”

Open to All Parents, Caregivers, and Media

The event is free to attend and open to the public. Media outlets and journalists are also encouraged to participate. Interviews with ACE representatives can be arranged before or after the session.

To enhance transparency and public engagement, Parent Night will include a live panel of stakeholders, policy advisors, and parents who will answer questions and participate in an open discussion on the platforms, policies, and concerns around childcare in Canada. This interactive format will provide a platform for real-time feedback, diverse perspectives, and a deeper understanding of what families across the country truly need from a national childcare system.

Childcare policies affect millions of families across Canada, yet the implementation and outcomes of national strategies—such as the $10-a-day program—can vary dramatically depending on government leadership and regional priorities. Parent Night aims to spotlight these nuances, share real-world impacts, and elevate the voices of families and operators who are living the outcomes of childcare policy decisions.

“Every parent deserves a voice in shaping the system that supports their children,” added Churcher. “This is a chance to get informed before casting your vote—and to demand clarity, accountability, and quality from those seeking to lead our country.”
