The sum is part of an $85 million amount being allotted to around 280 similar organizations all over Quebec during the same period. The CAQ government says it is providing the funding especially to provide better support for the developmental needs of children, who are regarded as vulnerable.
Good news for families
“The government is attentive to the needs of Quebec’s families,” said Skeete. “The announcement of this additional financing is done in this spirit. This is excellent for the families of Laval. I am pleased to know that the community organizations that are here for the parents of families in the region will have the means to intervene consistently, especially during these times which are more difficult than usual.”
“As Ministre of Families, I consider it important that these organizations should have the means to meet the needs of families, especially during these challenging times,” added Lacombe. “I would like to acknowledge the outstanding work done by the intervenors who are out in the field. You are making a difference in our children’s lives, in addition to supporting the many parents.”
