48 new childcare spaces are coming to Smithers through an investment by the province.
Through the ChildCare BC New Spaces fund, $23.5 million is being put into creating new spaces across 12 communities.
“As the new school year begins, hundreds of new licensed child care spaces on school grounds will make a real difference for families as they figure out their routines for the new school year,” said Lisa Beare, B.C.’s Minister of Education and Child Care.
The new spaces will be at Muheim Elementary School and operated by School District 54.
Since 2018, the fund has helped create 41,500 new childcare spaces in the province with over 26,000 open and providing care.
