The caisse is setting up a fund to create 180 new daycare spots in the region.
"There's a high demand for daycare spots. Very often, it's women who pay the
price by having to put off going back to work. Thanks to the support of our
directors, we're proud to create new daycare spots that will not only meet the
needs of families but also benefit local businesses.
The $50,000 in funding from our Community Development Fund is made possible
by the trust of our members. Choosing Desjardins means supporting initiatives
like this one that promote gender equality, access to equal job opportunities
and regional economic development."
- Yves Bisson, General Manager of Caisse Desjardins du Haut-Richelieu
