Denman Island Receives Childcare Space Funding

community · 2019 · Denman Island Community School site

Comox Valley Schools received $992,520 in funding from the Government of British Columbia to construct a dedicated childcare facility on the Denman Island Community School site. The new facility will create 20 additional licensed childcare spaces for children aged 12 months to 5 years and is expected to be available by summer 2020. The project is a partnership with Blackberry Lane Children’s Centre to address the community's growing childcare needs.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
