In August 2019, Emmanuel at Brighton was notified by the Region of Waterloo that Regional Council had approved the recommendation to discontinue the Fee Reduction Pilot. You can find the recommendation in report CSD-CHS-19-06 online. Additional details on the discontinuation of the Pilot have been provided in a letter to parents from Children’s Services, Region of Waterloo.
The Fee Reduction Pilot helps to reduce fees for infants ($10/day), toddlers ($3/day) and preschoolers ($2/day) with funding from the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada. The Pilot will continue to run until December 31, 2019, after which actual fees for January-August, 2020 will increase as detailed on our Program Fees page and below:
