Childcare Expansion Project
Thanks for coming to our Public Information Centres (PICs)!
The next PIC is planned to be held online in November. Join our mailing list to get notified of more details.
Council has approved construction of a new Mississippi Mills Childcare Services facility at 111 Menzie St (formerly 34 Victoria St) in Almonte. The proposed project would replace the current childcare centre on State Street, which houses 73 childcare spaces. With Canada-wide Early Learning and Childcare (CWELCC) funding—administered by Lanark County—the expansion would allow for an additional 78 spaces. That would bring the total licensed capacity to 151 CWELCC spaces, along with additional room for future growth.
For more information, see the Lanark County press release.
