The BC government has announced new child care spaces throughout the province.
Families in 52 communities throughout BC will benefit from 103 projects that will create more than 3,800 child-care spaces. This $33-million investment is focusing on areas of greatest need, including infant and toddler spaces; spaces on school grounds or co-located in a community hub; inclusive spaces in child-development centres; Indigenous child-care spaces; and employer-based spaces.
More than half of these spaces are being delivered by non-profit organizations, and 20% are from Indigenous child-care providers.
Victoria is receiving a total of $3.7 million for 448 child care spaces.
