Construction for daycare building at Abegweit First Nation underway
CBC
Construction for a $1.4-million daycare centre at Abegweit First Nation is underway.
The First Nation has been offering daycare services at their Mawi'omi (ceremonial gathering) centre for years, which holds about 20 to 25 kids.
The new daycare centre is projected to accommodate more than 30 children, according to Abegweit First Nation Chief Junior Gould.
"We're very proud of that as there's a lot of work and effort over years to bring it up to a professional standard of a building, because we already have the service provided for the daycare service through a provincial contract with the province," he said.
"We're trying to provide a very professional environment."
The funding for the centre came from the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch, which is a health service under Indigenous Service Canada.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, using the Mawi'omi centre for daycare services has been challenging because of its maximum capacity, Gould said.
