Community Hub to bring child care services to Elkford
Mark your calendars, parents: Elkford is receiving an exciting new facility, the Elkford Childcare Centre and Community Hub, which will bring much-needed licensed child care services and shared community spaces to town in late 2022.

Funded entirely by grants, the new child care facility will be opening within the former District of Elkford municipal office building on Michel Road.
The building is set to undergo extensive renovations before being repurposed into a child care facility, with the Elkford Women’s Task Force Society as the operator. The district has also applied for a grant through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, which will allow the development of additional, flexible spaces to support small businesses, non-profits and arts and culture in Elkford. Results of this grant are anticipated in summer 2021.
SKYLAR RISPENS
The debate over an LGBTQ club in the Florence-Carlton school district continued in another lengthy school board meeting on Monday night, which ultimately offered no resolution.
The meeting lasted more than four hours and discussion about student clubs dominated nearly three-quarters of the evening.
After four motions related to school policy around student clubs failed, the trustees ultimately agreed to table discussion to a later date citing some of the same reasons from their meeting earlier this month â not having all five trustees present and unclear definitions or motions.
âIâm just not sure what is going to change if we come back, weâre just rehashing the same things,â board chair Kim Bauer said.

Congratulations to Elkford Housing Society (EHS)
, the second recipient of $10,000 from the $50,000 Legacy Campaign as the third and final part of its 70 Year $115,000 Celebration!
EKC’s Board of Directors initiated the celebration in honour of its 70th Anniversary. Its purpose is to continue support for strong, local communities and support community groups who have felt the impact of COVID-19.
The lack of safe and accessible housing has led to seniors leaving Elkford as they age.
The Elkford Housing Society (EHS) was incorporated in 2018 with the vision to provide residents of Elkford with housing options that allow residents to remain in Elkford for as long as they desire regardless of socio-economic status or age. They recognize safe, affordable, and accessible housing for seniors would make Elkford a better place to live.
