Excerpts

A new child-care centre at St. Francis Xavier University will create 104 daycare spaces in Antigonish, N.S.

The Nova Scotia government is partnering with St. FX for the project, which will see an existing building on campus removed to make space for the new facility.

The centre is part of the provincial government’s efforts to expand access to child care through the Canada-Nova Scotia Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement.

Nova Scotia has signed a five-year extension to the Canada-Nova Scotia Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement and the Canada-Nova Scotia Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, worth more than $1 billion total.

The extended agreements will be in place until March 31, 2031.
