Minister Paul Dinn will announce changes to child care services in St. John’s on Friday. The announcement will take place at the Unity Health Centre. Minister Dinn will be joined by Health Minister Joedy Wall. The event is scheduled for 10:00 a.M.

Protesters gathered earlier in the week to oppose the closure of the Horizons transitional living facility. The demonstration took place at the Confederation Building. Actor Mary Walsh led the crowd. The closure of the facility has sparked public concern.

The Horizons facility provides support for young people transitioning to independent living. Its closure has raised questions about access to services. Local advocates argue the decision affects vulnerable populations. The government has not yet released details on the future of child care programs. The announcement is expected to address these concerns.
