North Bay City Council is backing an East Ferris council resolution.

It calls for organizers of provincial conferences to provide child care services for delegates.

Councillor Scott Robertson says this would reduce barriers for those who provide child care services.

“It’s in the collective interest to have a wide representation from all segments of our community including women and the parents of young children,” he says.

The resolution is being forwarded to many organizations including the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities.

He says no details have been worked out regarding the financial implications for providing these services at conferences.

Options may include a user fee option.
