Background:
In September 2018, the Town of Pincher Creek established a Town-owned not-for-profit corporation, Pincher Creek Community Early Learning Centre Ltd. (PCCELC). PCCELC was created to transition child care to a temporary single location at St. Michael’s School. The Town of Pincher Creek is the sole shareholder of the corporation, with four elected officials and three members at large serving as the Board of Directors. The corporation was established to carry on any and all such business activities as may directly or indirectly relate to the operation of childcare, before and after school care and early learning centre facilities in the Town of Pincher Creek. The corporation is operating the temporary Early Learning Centre at St. Michael’s School.
Moving forward with a more permanent solution:
Research and architectural concepts and drawings for two new facilities at St. Michael’s and Canyon schools have been completed. Capital costs have been determined, land agreements have been completed with both Holy Spirit School Division and Livingstone Range School Division. Legislative process has now commenced. Next stages include public consultation, borrowing the finances and then moving forward with the build.
