Daycares in four of Nunatsiavut’s five communities are at risk of not opening next month, leaving Labrador’s Inuit region in a tough spot.
“We are so worried for the parents — the working parents — and we’re so worried for the children and we’re so worried for the staff,” Jenny Lyall, the Nunatsiavut government’s child-care co-ordinator, told CBC’s Labrador Morning.
The Nunatsiavut government receives $990,687 a year from the federal government to run a daycare in each of its five communities.
