Liam Riazati Memorial Fund │ Government of Ontario

January 1, 1900

Value

Varies.

Description

Ontario is investing $20 million to launch the Liam Riazati Memorial Fund, a new initiative to help protect children in child care by helping community-based licensed facilities install concrete barriers.

The Liam Riazati Memorial Fund will support community-based child care programs, many of which operate in unique spaces such as retail settings, places of worship, residential dwellings and other standalone public buildings, where concrete barriers can provide an extra layer of protection.

Starting in early 2026, existing community-based child care operators will be able to access a simple application process that will make it easy for operators to arrange the delivery and installation of the barriers, which will be supplied free of charge. Further details on how to apply will be provided to child care operators in early 2026.

Eligible Applicants

The Liam Riazati Memorial Fund will support community-based child care programs, many of which operate in unique spaces such as retail settings, places of worship, residential dwellings and other standalone public buildings, where concrete barriers can provide an extra layer of protection.

Eligible Expenses

This investment will provide safety support in the short-term while Ontario examines longer-term safety requirements for the child care sector. The province will consult with the sector and technical experts on recommendations to update design guidelines and regulations for licensed child care programs, including best practices to better safeguard indoor and outdoor play spaces and reduce risks to children.

Deadline Date

The Liam Riazati Memorial Fund applications were expected to open in early 2026. As of March 2026, child care operators are advised to begin preparing applications for the fund, which supports safety barrier installations. Further details on the application process are being provided to operators. Please monitor the official Ontario Ministry of Education website for the most current information and to access the application portal.
