B.C. students with disabilities and diverse abilities will benefit from a second outreach team that provides professional learning support for students throughout the province.

Families and children living in the Vancouver Hastings-Sunrise neighbourhood will benefit from 24 new child care spaces at West Coast Christian Fellowship.

Plans for an enhanced and expanded Mission Senior Secondary are continuing, with funding secured to create a new, larger school to serve an additional 250 students.

Following a competitive procurement process, Child Care Resource and Referral Centres (CCRRs) throughout British Columbia are expanding to better serve local families and build child care connections in communities.

New child care spaces are now available for more Nanaimo families, providing much-needed early learning and care opportunities.

More families in British Columbia will save thousands of dollars every year as more than 930 child care spaces move into the $10 a Day ChildCareBC program in March and April.
