On the record

pressed Childcare inequity in Scarborough and other high-need areas persists; staff say capital plan is fully committed and provincial policy limits municipal action. Asked when high-need area data was last refreshed and noted that 5 of 6 Scarborough wards are flagged as high-inequity; questioned whether change has occurred and how long the city has known about these gaps.
