Back to school plans take shape for working parents

Working parents of school-aged children will soon have a better idea of what’s being planned for classrooms.

SD61 and other school districts are working on plans to bring back students for Sept. 10, with BC’s Ministry of Education agreeing to a gradual re-orientation. After districts have their plans approved by the province, parents will have a better idea of the child-care needs they’ll require this fall.

The Chamber continues to call on all levels of government to invest in quality child care. As our economy restarts, we need parents to have confidence that they can access quality child-care — especially in these uncertain times — so they can continue to pursue careers and contribute to the labour pool.
