Alberta is seeking to support Stakeholders in identifying their child care needs and/or strategies for managing their needs through an externally developed and led community assessment.

•        Lower income families (not all families receiving child care subsidy would qualify as lower income; definition of a “low income family” may vary by jurisdiction and would need to be identified within objective reporting);
•        Indigenous families;
•        Lone parent families;
•        Families in underserved communities, including Black, racialized, immigrant or refugee families;
•        Families of children with disabilities and children needing enhanced or individual supports;
