BC college child care remains open.

VICTORIA, BC -- Camosun College will continue to operate its two child care centres, which were threatened with closing last year due to rising costs. A task force of board of governor members have worked on a revised business plan for the centres.

The possibility of closing the two child care centres, one at the Lansdowne campus and one at Interurban, came up last June when administrators grew alarmed at the cost of the service. The college has been spending $260,000 a year to maintain 60 child care spaces, with another $90,000 coming from students.

Many users said their ability to attend college depended on the child care operations.
