New child care centres coming for Métis families
Excerpt: "More Métis families will benefit from increased access to culturally based child care with more than 200 new child care spaces opening or on the way. “Métis children and families benefit from access to culturally relevant and high-quality early education,” said Rachna Singh, Minister of Education and Child Care. “This is why our government is working with Métis Nation BC to support the creation of new child care centres for Métis communities. By supporting our younger learners in environments that honour their culture, we’re helping to build stronger, more resilient communities.” Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC) has received $13.9 million in federal funding since 2022 through B.C.’s Ministry of Education and Child Care to create five new child care facilities that cater to the cultural needs of Métis families."
