Project aims to improve child care

The City of Enderby has hired a consultant to lead a community child care planning process.

Kara Wilhelm will be working with parents and others to develop a child care inventory, needs assessment, and action plan for improving access to child care.

“This project will be community-based and community-focused. I’m hoping to connect with Enderby families who have infant, toddler and school-aged children. As someone who has not only spent five years working directly with Enderby families but also as a working mother, I understand the challenges associated with accessing childcare,” Wilhelms said.

The city received a $25,000 provincial grant to fund the project.
