Following a sudden turn-around on the issue of religion in day cares by Quebec’s Minister of Family Tony Thomassi, a delegation including representatives from Quebec Jewish Congress, FEDERATION CJA, the Association of Jewish Day Schools, the Association of Childcare Centres of the Jewish Community, and the CPE Sepharade, met with the Minister to discuss his position and intentions with regard to the Jewish community. The delegation received assurances that the financing to Jewish daycares is not in jeopardy in the short term, and that community leaders would be involved in the process of determining future action. QJC continues to work with its partners and will advise the community of any developments on this issue.
