Red River College Polytechnic and the University College of the North will add a total of 128 new child-care spaces to their campuses, thanks to funding from the Government of Canada and the Government of Manitoba. This investment is part of the governments’ joint action plan under the Early Learning and Child Care Infrastructure Fund. The new spaces at RRC Polytech and UCN add to previously announced child-care expansions at nine other MB postsecondary campuses, for a combined total investment of $60.5M. “These new spaces represent an opportunity for potential learners who would otherwise be unable to attend full-time programs, and for staff and community members who have been unable to find convenient, quality child-care solutions,” said RRC Polytech President Fred Meier.
