Child Care Subsidy

Announcement

The Douglas College Student Society has generously donated
$6,000.00 to enable the Child Minding Committee to establish
a subsidy fund for part-time child care. Applications for
the subsidy will be assessed under the following guidelines:

at. We will provide some child care subsidy to part-time
student parents taking less than 12 credits per
semester.

Zs We will subsidize up to 12 hours a week per child at
the Douglas College E.C.E. Centre or the YM/WCA.

3 If approved, a subsidy of $1.50 an hour (1/2 of the cost)
will be provided.

4. Students will apply through the Women's Centre or Student
Finance and allocations will be made to those with the
greatest need first, and then to other applicants in de-
creasing level of need, until resources are exhausted.

Se The Co-ordinator of the Women's Centre, together with the
Douglas College Student Society representative, is res-
ponsible for financial assessment and allocation.

6. If, and when, an evening service is available, subsidies
will also be provided for that service.

Applications can be obtained from the Women's Centre or Student
Finance and Placement Office.

The members of the Child Minding Committee would like to extend
their sincere appreciation to the Douglas College Student
Society. The subsidy fund will be a great help to many part—
time student parents and would not have been implemented so
quickly without the funding from the Student Society.
