The Early Years Steering Committee is moving forward with programs for area children and families.
The committee has completed a three-year action plan and will submit the summary to the provincial government for approval.
Mike Furlong, a consultant who worked on the action plan, says the report outlines how important it is to focus on young children ages 0 through 6.
He adds residents in the Kenora and Rainy River Districts will be able to go online to find out what services are available for youngsters.
In 1998, the province announced 30 million dollars in funding to create programs centred around young children.
