Thursday, 16 July 2020 17:08

Zorra Township council has asked staff to look at the possibility of providing day care to residents.

ZORRA TOWNSHIP - Zorra Township may be getting into the child care business. 

Mayor Marcus Ryan has asked staff for a report to be presented at Council's August meeting to look at the possibility. Ryan says that with the economy restarting one of the biggest problems is what to do with the kids when folks go back to work because of a shortage in child care spaces and questions around how and when students will be allowed back in schools. Ryan is asking staff to look at multiple options

"In Zorra we have a Municipal day camp that is run in both Thamesford and Embro and the question to staff was, look we have never run day care before, is there anyway, either by extending the day camp model by working with existing day care providers in the Township, is there any model, it was really wide open motion to say, is there any model where we could provide child care to residents." 

Ryan says in different times such as we are in means new and innovative ways of looking at problems and finding solutions.
