Sherbrooke MNA and Family Minister Luc Fortin and Richmond MNA Karine Vallières announced the creation of 76 new subsidized daycare spaces at the CPE Jardins DAMIS, 21 of which will be built in partnership with Acier Orford at its premises on Panorama Street.
The announcement follows a review of child care services recently unveiled to determine parents’ child care needs. Fortin also announced the creation of 2,000 new subsidized spaces across Québec as part of a targeted call for projects, as well as the implementation of measures to develop 3,800 spaces in inadequately served areas, such as the borough of Rock Forest-Saint-Élie-Deauville in Sherbrooke.
In addition to the growth of subsidized places at CPE Jardins DAMIS and the 21 places developed at the Acier Orford premises, 25 more spaces have been reserved for the borough in a call for specific projects.
