As 2020 draws to a close, the Eagle Valley News is looking back at some of the stories that reflect the positive work, activities and accomplishments that occurred throughout this challenging year.
More care for pre-school age children was in the works for Sicamous.
The District of Sicamous announced it has received a provincial government grant applied for through the Community Child Care Space Creation program. The grant, which totals $848,000, will go towards the purchase of 502 Cedar St., which is currently in use by the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Renovations of the space will also be covered by the grant. Once upgraded, the space will be a daycare for children ages 3 to 5.
