About 500 daycare centres in Ontario that are not participating in the $10-a-day child care program will soon lose provincial funding.

In an Aug. 15 letter from the Ontario Ministry of Education to child care centres around the province, assistant deputy minister Holly Moran gave details about the $10-a-day program, known as the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care program (CWELCC).
