Kira Schulz and her daughter Skyelar Schmidt walk through the grounds of École Edwards Elementary School in Airdrie, Alta., on July 4. Ms. Schulz is concerned about overcrowding in schools after learning that her daughter Skyelar's school will convert its library and music room into classrooms to accommodate rising enrolment.

Kira Schulz is standing in the field behind her daughter’s elementary school in the Alberta city of Airdrie and trying to make sense of space.

If the school adds modular classrooms to accommodate new students – the local school division has asked the government for several – where will the children play, Ms. Schulz wonders.

  • Most Canadians support publicly funded child care, YMCA and YWCA survey says
    A new survey from the YMCA of Canada and YWCA Canada showing a majority of Canadians are in favour of publicly funded child care is intended to shore up support for a federal care program as some provinces’ commitment to the deal appears to be wavering ahead of a critical deadline. In 2021, the federal government pledged $30-billion to create 250,000 new child care spaces and reduce costs to an average of $10 a day over the next five years.
