New childcare spaces help parents pursue careers

Investing in child care allows more working parents to stay in the labour force and helps our region achieve its economic potential. The addition of 395 new licensed child care spaces in Greater Victoria, announced April 19, will help parents continue careers or pursue employment while knowing their children are being looked after.
 
“The Chamber has led the way in encouraging investment in child care as a way to boost our economy and help our region remain an attractive destination for working families,” Chamber CEO Bruce Williams said. “We’ll continue to advocate for good policies that build good business and great community for all.”
