With regard to the recent Province wide announcement of a shutdown, and the possibility of Emergency Child Care for school age children of essential workers:
Child Care Programs in the District of Thunder Bay Social Services Administration Board Service Area are closed from December 21, 2020 to January 4, 2021. The District of Thunder Bay Social Services Administration Board is working to determine the availability of Child Care programs to provide School Age Emergency Child Care for essential services for the week of January 4 to 8 , 2021.
Upon reopening of Child Care centres, TBDSSAB will work with operators to determine if they are able to provide care for school age children of essential workers. If TBDSSAB is successful with child care operator(s), the plan would require approval by the Ministry of Education prior to opening for school age children. More information will be provided to the public once the plan is confirmed.
If you are an essential worker requiring child care for a school age child from January 4 through January 8, and you are unable to access any other means of child care, please contact the Supervisor Intake and Eligibility at TBDSSAB at 807- 766 -2111.
Please Note: This does not guarantee that Emergency Child Care can be provided.
