Premier Clark announces grant for Community Connections Society in Cranbrook
By Contributor
Premier Christy Clark today announced a $50,000 community gaming grant to the Community Connections Society of Southeast B.C., which opened the doors of its new Kootenay Child Development Centre (KCDC) in Cranbrook earlier this year.
“This centre is exactly what Kootenay-based families need and we are proud to support the completion of this important community facility,” said Premier Clark.
“Every parent knows how difficult it is to juggle life’s many demands, and every moment that can be spared is valuable.
“But what is most important is that children receive the care they need in a timely way, with the least amount of stress on parents.”
The new facility centralizes a number of health and development services for children, reducing travel time for parents and allowing them to access comprehensive supports in one building.
The centre is not yet fully operational, and this funding will enable the KCDC to enhance its existing programs and services.
