Bringing Communities Together for Change

From rallies to webinars, appreciation days to town halls, OCBCC events bring together educators, parents, advocates, and allies from across Ontario. Our events are designed to inform, inspire, and mobilize—because building a better child care system takes all of us, working together.

Child Care Worker and Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day

This province-wide day of recognition is more than thank yous—it’s about raising awareness of the value of ECEs and child care workers and advocating for decent wages and working conditions.
