Good news! And we need to ensure there is sufficient before-and-after school child care available in all elementary schools for families who need it. #10adaychildcare #childcarebc
A new school addition is now under construction at École Hudson Road Elementary in #WestKelowna! It will add 265 student seats, giving children more room to learn and supporting a growing community.
