The B.C. Chamber of Commerce unanimously passed a child care resolution brought forward by the Trail and District and Prince George chapters at the organization’s annual meeting. The introduction to the resolution begins with a historic (for business) recognition that:
“Quality child care is no longer just a social issue; the business community of B.C. now views child care as one of the key factors in addressing the labour shortage in B.C. The ability to recruit and retain workers in all industry sectors is underpinned with a worker’s ability to secure quality child care that meets their needs,” the resolution says.
“A comprehensive strategic plan for the child care system in B.C. is critical to staying competitive in today’s global economy.”
