Strong Communities

The Green Party of Canada is committed to nurturing families and communities through integrated policies that focus on the welfare of the child, starting with prenatal nutrition all the way to affordable housing and accessible post secondary education.

We believe we must stop designing our communities around the car and start designing them around families and children. There are no easy solutions. We have to address the multi-layered problems facing families through new, innovative fiscal, labour and social policies.

We support:

  • a real national childcare plan
  • income-splitting for families
  • a Charter right to clean air and water
  • support for family farms
  • flex hours for working parents
