Saint John, N.B. looking for ways to open childcare spaces to ‘hundreds’
Killen believes that the city doesn’t have an adequate number of childcare spaces to accommodate the growing population. She stated during Tuesday’s Common Council Meeting that finding initiatives and programs could entice residents to open more spaces in the Port City.
“Maybe someone wants to expand their daycare and they didn’t realize the market is like this,” said Ogden. “We do have a lot of old buildings, old churches, old schools that are possibilities. People can even expand their daycare.” He noted that availing other properties owned by the province could open that door to new development. He’s hoping the city can use some of it’s vacant or soon-to-be vacant buildings for potential daycare locations.
The move by council came on the heels of an emotional public hearing two weeks prior that saw multiple residents come to council trying to approve a daycare being rezoned from a building that was up for development.
