Kamloops daycare costs rising, less than Lower Mainland cities
KAMLOOPS — Childcare costs are rising and some parents simply cannot keep up, and Kamloops is not immune.
According to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, three Lower Mainland cities, including Vancouver at No. 2, are among the most expensive for childcare across the country. Childcare costs in Vancouver average $1,292 every month. In Kamloops, the monthly fees for daycare are $800 on average.
But even with a cheaper pricetag than the Coast, it’s still a struggle for many families.
