Grace Lore, Minister of State for Child Care, has released the following statement for Child Care Provider Appreciation Day in B.C.:

Students from kindergarten to Grade 12 in B.C. will have more access to programs that develop skills needed to succeed in technology and other in-demand careers.

Rachna Singh, Minister of Education and Child Care, has issued the following statement to mark Education Week 2023:

Students enrolled in early childhood education (ECE) programs at British Columbia post-secondary institutions can apply for bursaries to help pay costs.

More students are in classrooms throughout B.C. that have improved ventilation systems with funding from the federal government, according to final spending reports from school districts.

Students throughout B.C. will soon be learning in safer, improved schools now that more funding is available to school districts.

An increase in government funding means more children with support needs are receiving inclusive child care, and more child care providers will be trained to provide these services to help children of all abilities thrive in communities throughout British Columbia.

Nominations are open to honour child care providers who go above and beyond to help children achieve their best, or who have shown innovation, demonstrated leadership or used partnerships to advance child care in their community.
