As we continue to support families by increasing access to child care on District property, we are moving forward with the creation of 160 new spaces for families at five school sites.
The spaces are part of the three-step plan approved by the 奥门开彩开奖结果 in October 2019 that was developed after extensive consultation. The plan, in its entirety, involves partnership and funding by the Provincial Government and the City of Burnaby.
Board Chair Jen Mezei:
We are grateful for our partnerships with the provincial government and the City of Burnaby, as well as those we have in the community that have enabled us to be a part of supporting local child care. We recognize the importance of quality, inclusive child care to families in our community, and we are proud that our district has been a leader for more than 35 years in enabling space in our schools and on our properties.鈥
The funding for the additional 160 spaces was announced by the Ministry of Children and Family Development in May.
