The Clements Centre has begun a capital campaign called “Champions for Kids” to raise funds for a new 7 million dollar Sundrops Child and Family Development Centre in the Cowichan Valley. The population in the valley is growing and so is the demand for services for children’s early development. This is making it harder for families in the region to have access to a central resource for services like speech, physio and occupational therapy. A new and modern facility in the heart of the community will provide a local central “hub” to improved access to vital services by the over 700 families who require assistance for a child’s healthy development.
