## About this resource

As incremental changes shaping the future of ELCC in Canada are underway, this resource can inform and empower collective system-building. Its curated materials are organized to contribute to community knowledge at all levels. Use it as a starting point to find research, evidence, developments, and tools to understand and engage with policy and advocacy, whether you are an early childhood educator, a parent, a policy maker, a researcher, a student, a social justice activist, or an interested ally.
