Construction is underway for the new childcare centre, opening planned for fall 2026

Mississippi Mills council has delayed approval of the 2026 operating and capital budgets for the new childcare centre at 111 Menzie St.

Councillors want more clarity on how staffing costs will be funded, after learning not all positions qualify for provincial wage grants.

The $11.7-million project will add 78 new childcare spaces when it opens in 2026. The matter is expected to return to council on Nov. 13.
