KAMLOOPS — With a growing need for childcare spaces in Kamloops, the city has applied for a $25,000 grant to conduct a study that would look into the current inventory of existing childcare spaces.

Mayor Ken Christian says following the province’s $1 billion investment into child care over three years, Kamloops is hoping to participate in the Community Child Care Planning Program, which is designed to help local governments in developing a community plan for creating more childcare spaces.
