Thanks to a $10.8M investment through the Canada-Saskatchewan Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, Northlands College and Saskatchewan Polytechnic will receive new childcare spaces on campus. Sask Polytech will receive 450 new childcare spaces across its campuses, while Northlands will receive 90 at its La Ronge campus. The spaces will be open to children of faculty, staff, and students, with 30% of spaces designated for families facing barriers to access. The facilities will also serve as training sites for students in early childhood education programs. “The centres will enrich the learning experience for Early Childhood Education students, giving them the opportunity to practice their skills and interact with children as part of their daily learning,” said Sask Polytech President Larry Rosia.
