DARTMOUTH A Dartmouth-area MLA believes Nova Scotia is on the cusp of what could be a daycare crisis and is calling for universal childcare. Claudia Chender, the NDP MLA for Dartmouth South, has heard from about 35 parents this week after Dartmouth Day Care Centre shared plans to consolidate its Crichton Avenue and Caledonia Road locations – leaving some children without a spot. I would say the overall mood is panic, Chender said, adding that she believes the real issue is the introduction of pre-primary de-stabilized the early childcare sector. CTV News was unable to interview the Board of Directors at Dartmouth Day Care Centre, but its letter to parents said Nova Scotia is experiencing fundamental changes, which have been further complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

As far as Wes Myles is concerned, a pandemic-driven exodus out of Toronto and the corresponding plunge in rental rates he keeps reading about simply isn’t happening. “We’re not experiencing what the media is reporting,” says Myles, CEO of Clifton Blake, a private-equity firm specializing in midrise real-estate development.
Myles points to a three-storey property with 11 new rental suites that Clifton Blake completed last summer in Leslieville. “We rented up the building in the first month,” says Myles. “There’s plenty of demand for purpose-built rental properties in the market, particularly if they’re able to reach beyond a singles lifestyle with suites spacious enough to accommodate couples and families.” What tenants won’t tolerate in this segment – rents for one- and two-bedroom suites at the Leslieville address run between $2,200 to $3,500 per month – is “inferior quality and design,” Myles adds.
