Excerpts

Families throughout British Columbia continue to benefit from government investments in child care, as more families gain access to $10-a-day spaces and new child care centre projects are funded.

Since 2018, the Province and Government of Canada have invested nearly $8 billion through ChildCareBC to build a future where access to affordable, high-quality and inclusive child care is a core service that families can rely on. This has resulted in more than 40,000 new child care spaces funded – more than 23,000 of which are open – and more than 16,000 $10-a-day child care spaces throughout B.C.
