The provincial government announced $3.1 million in funding to the Plymouth Community and Recreation Association for a renovation and addition to the Plymouth Community Centre to allow for the creation of 58 early learning spaces, including 16 infant spaces.
Premier Tim Houston stated he is pleased to support the community centre to continue its legacy of helping young people and families by adding new child-care spaces.
The Plymouth Community and Recreation Association received funding from the province to build a new child-care centre and to complete energy upgrades to 21 community buildings in Pictou County.
