Summary
The University of Ottawa’s sudden shutdown of its only on-campus daycare has left 49 student families in chaos, as the beloved Bernadette Child Care Centre—located in the soon-to-be-demolished Brooks Complex—closes amid a massive campus redevelopment. While the university touts new off-campus childcare partnerships and financial aid, parents say the loss of on-campus convenience is devastating, forcing long commutes and disrupting student life. With demand far outpacing supply and no immediate campus replacement in sight, families are pleading for the university to prioritize a new, accessible daycare to support student parents navigating school, work, and childcare.
