Funding for Childcare Needs

Up to 25 thousand dollars in funding was unanimously approved by Lethbridge City Council on Tuesday afternoon. The money will be used to fund consulting resources to support the development of a childcare needs assessment. Councilor Jenn Schmidt-Rempel tabled the motion and said an earlier report by the City identified a gap of about 600 childcare spaces in the community this year. She says help is needed especially for those who are new to our country. City officials say the childcare needs assessment will be completed by the second quarter of next year.
