New

Alberta Children and Youth Services is pleased with the tremendous response to the Making Space for Children: Space Creation Innovation Fund. Since May 2008, 132 Alberta communities have received funding to create new spaces, making it easier for families to access quality child care.

As a result, effective January 5, 2010, all space creation grant funding has been committed and the ministry will no longer accept new applications. Applications submitted prior to this date will be assessed and applicants will be notified. Details about space creation funding for the 2010-2011 fiscal year will be made when available.
