Work is underway for construction of the new Cumberland Childcare Facility.

Prep work began at the site yesterday.

As part of this work, the existing disc golf course will be removed and public access to the project area will be restricted for the duration of the project.

In the near term, contractors will begin preparing the site, including select removal of trees.

Once completed, the facility will provide much needed child care spaces for families in Cumberland.

Funding for the centre is through the Ministry of Children and Family Development's ChildCareBC New Spaces Fund.
