CHILD CARE
Child care $ helps, more need exists Diane StranDberg The Tri-CiTy News

Terry Fox Ravens forward Lukas Nikula (right) battles a Kwantlen Park Timberwolves defender for the ball in the first half of their first-round match in the Fraser Valley boys’ high school soccer championships Tuesday at Gates Park in Port Coquitlam. The Ravens, who are seeded second among the 16 teams that began the tournament, won the match 8-1 and moved on to face seventh seed Tamanawis on Thursday (after The Tri-City News’ print deadline). More sports, page 31.
Nearly $500,000 of provincial funding will provide support to children with special needs in daycare and may eliminate a waiting list, according to the agency that supports families in the Tri-Cities. The news comes as school and city officials establish a task force to deal with an ongoing daycare crunch, which has left parents scrambling for child care, especially if they live in growing neighbourhoods where space is at a premium. Meetings to establish terms of reference for the task force are expected to take place once the new school trustees and city councillors or sworn in. Then, efforts will be made to snag $25,000 in funds per city for the initiative from the Ministry of Children and Families. see SUPPORT, page 16
