Children in Algoma District put at risk by the provincial government: CUPE

The Infant-Child Development Program (ICDP) of Algoma Public Health (APH) provides service and support to over 500 children and their families annually. The Ministry of Children and Youth Services has announced to APH that it may not be possible to fund shortfalls. APH will initiate the withdrawal of ICDP services from approximately 300 children starting November 26, 2008. Six of eight ICDP child development professionals, who provide early intervention to children experiencing developmental delays in Sault Ste. Marie and the Algoma District, have received lay-off notices. By the end of April 2009, 25 per cent of this team will permanently lose their positions, due to chronic year-over-year funding shortfalls. These workers are Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 1528 members.
