Council for Early Child Development Closing
The Council for Early Child Development will be ceasing operations effective October 31st 2010: in the last 12 months, the Council has faced substantial funding issues. As we wind down, we look back and celebrate our successes since our inception five years ago.
The Council's Board of Directors is satisfied that our achievements over the past five years have been significant. We are well positioned to transition our on-going projects and networks to centres of excellence across the country. We will be providing further information about how you can stay connected to the following initiatives:
- The Network of Canadians for Early Human Development
- The Monitoring Network (website forthcoming)
- The Canadian Leadership Network for Education and Early Learning and Care
The presentations and publications on this website will continue to be accessible until Oct 31st 2010. We are also in the process of ensuring that this important content remains accessible to you in further into the future and will provide you with more information about this very soon.
The commitment of Council leaders to the well-being of Canada's children remains as strong as ever, and we are resolved to remain engaged and involved. We would like to thank you for your association with and commitment to the vision that the Council has pursued and encourage you to continue to press for a comprehensive system of early child development in your own community, as well as provincially/territorially and federally.
If you would like to send us your thoughts or ideas following this news, we would be very pleased to hear from you. Please email us at cecd_general@councilecd.ca.
