Provincial funding cuts are now impacting childcare services.
Hundreds of children at UBC's daycares will continue to use old
furniture and resources, with no money in reserve for emergency
repairs, like plumbing and heating.
Alma Mater Society President Blake Frederick says it's a result of the
Province cutting anticipated funding by 60 percent. So while new spaces
will continue to be built using University and Alma Mater funds, "It
does mean that the existing spaces that are out of date, that need
repairs, aren't going to be able to get the level of quality service
that they would've otherwise."
Frederick says it'll impact the children of students, Faculty and University staff
.
