MSVU receives $5M from Canada, NS to expand childcare centre

Mount Saint Vincent University will receive a combined $5M from the Government of Canada and Government of Nova Scotia to support the expansion of its childcare centre. The centre expansion, valued at $10M overall, will ensure greater access to childcare in the region by creating 82 more child-care spaces and up to 32 infant spaces. In addition to creating these spaces, MSVU President Joël Dickinson explained that the expanded centre will enable “expanded teaching capacity in support of greater numbers of students pursuing early childhood education as their chosen profession.”
