Kootenay Employment Services aims to increase childcare options in Creston.
Executive Director Hugh Grant says there’s a shortage of childcare facilities in Creston.
KES was awarded $150,000 from the Columbia Basin Trust Childcare Capital Grants Program for the project.
Grant says now that they have the green light from the trust their next step is to look for a proper facility to house the centre.
They’ll be working with a CBT consultant and the town to get things underway.
