West Shore Parks & Recreation’s vision is to inspire its community to Move, Learn and Play for life! Starting September 2021, WSPR is excited to offer a wide variety of programs to suit your child care needs and start your child’s journey to an active, curious and healthy lifestyle. With funding from Ministry of Children and Family Development and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities, renovations have started in the upper JDF Rec Centre to create the new WSPR Childcare Centre. Included in this beautiful new community space will be 24 new full-time daycare, 30 new preschool and 40 new afterschool care spaces and an outdoor play ground for licensed care.
