“Those are really the four big pillars that exist. It’s really a centre based on play and exploration of course, but there are programs that are set up throughout the day,” Garinger said. “We need to value the family dynamic and support families in this, that’s really what it’s about, and giving children and families the opportunity to be engaged in a way to provide timetabled opportunities as well as drop-in opportunities that can support the early year’s growth and readiness for school.” Entry level Horizon School Division tests in readiness for school in the 2019-20 year scored 28 per cent of self-declared First Nation, Métis & Inuit students as ready, 54 per cent of non-declared students, and 51 per cent of students overall.

They returned to full-time in mid-May, with both volunteering more than 100 hours to the Chamber while laid off. “The biggest change to highlight is our salaries and wages,” Thomas said. “They were down $20,000 or about 20 per cent due to the decision to have a temporary layoff earlier in the year, and then our executive director went down to a four day week for part of the year.”

Businesses downtown, on the street front, they have to pay taxes for business, they have to pay the licensing fee,” Fitzpatrick said. “From those at home, there has to be an investment into the community, so I appreciate the city’s stance. At the same time, I don’t want these fees to be onerous to small businesses. ”
