Excerpt: "To help prepare today’s young children for the elementary school experience, the provincial government, under the leadership of Education Minister Karen Casey, has opened preschool early years centres all across Nova Scotia.
The Margaret and Wallace McCain Family Foundation is providing $500,000 over five years to help establish these centres and the province is providing $125,000 per site. Margaret Norrie McCain is making a profound impact on our Nova Scotian communities through her philanthropy and advocacy for children.
