新威廉姆斯湖托儿中心在Taseko的支持下开业
In late August, Taseko and Gibraltar employees joined families, local leaders, as well as the Women’s 联系 Society and Kidcare Early Learning Centre to celebrate the grand opening of the second Kidcare daycare facility in Williams Lake, British Columbia.
The celebration was full of energy, with music, arts and crafts, a rainbow tunnel, cookies, a community barbecue, and the unveiling of new “mining toys” for the daycare’s sandboxes – marking the transformation of a former high school shop class into a vibrant childcare space.
The opening of the facility, operated by Women’s 联系 Society, comes after Taseko捐赠了5万美元,以支持该地区扩大托儿服务. 这笔捐款帮助开设了日托所,培训了新员工,并为日托所配备了家具、工艺品和玩具。
“拼图的最后一块是为孩子们准备好。 So, we needed toys and puzzles, and a myriad of other things to make it a comfortable, fully functioning childcare,” said Irene Willsie, Executive Director of the Women’s 联系 Society at the opening event. “And that’s what your $50,000 did.”
With demand for childcare spaces continuing to rise across the Cariboo, the support from Taseko is an investment in the community’s future that will improve access to licensed childcare for families in the region. 新的Kidcare地点现在宝博体育提供119个托儿场所。 Taseko is proud to support the Women’s 联系 Society and Kidcare in expanding their services.
The Women’s 联系 Society, a non-profit organization, has served the Williams Lake community for more than 30 years. 自1989年以来,该协会一直经营着一个慈善的非营利性组织Kidcare,目前为威廉姆斯湖的家庭宝博体育提供了160多个托儿场所。
Through Taseko’s 超越潜在社区投资计划, the Company and Gibraltar proudly support community programs in the Cariboo, with a focus on education, health and wellness, and Indigenous partnerships.
Taseko和直布罗陀的员工非常激动地与该设施所服务的加勒比社区一起庆祝盛大的开业。
