By 250 News

Deputy Premier and Minister of Education Shirley Bond,  presents a cheque to Mary Jarbek the Director of Community Relations and Resource Development for the Child Development Centre.

The cheque for $75 thousand  will go towards paying the bills  associated with ther CDC's  expansion which   cost $1.5 million dollras.  "With this  funding we are 90% there of covering the cost"  says Jarbek.

The expansion opened up the lower level of the Strathcona Avenue  facility, creating 6,000 square feet  of new space for classrooms, and  freeing up the main floor for therapy and development.

Significant  donations have come from some other sources, including $450 thousand from the Variety Club,  in-kind donations of  trades people from CNC to build the  expansion, and $150 thousand from the City of Prince George for the new HVac system.

Also on hand for the  presentation was MLA Pat Bell, who noted the Child Development Centre in Prince George  is an organization second to none, and  is viewed "as a model for the rest of the Province."
