New child care spaces announced for Langford

For the last 10 years, Chamber members have identified finding and keeping workers as one of the biggest challenges facing their organization. Our region has one of the lowest unemployment rates in part because of our cost of living. To help, the Chamber has loudly and successfully advocated for investment in child care, which can be the second highest cost facing families after housing.

On Monday, the City of Langford received funding for a new centre with 73 child care spaces.

“As the Voice of Business, the Chamber works to bring investment to our region,” Chamber CEO Bruce Williams said. “This includes investing in infrastructure such as affordable child care spaces that attract families, that allow parents to continue their careers knowing their young kids are well looked after.”
