West Kelowna reopens Mount Boucherie Community and Childcare Centre

The City of West Kelowna has officially returned the Mount Boucherie Community and Childcare Centre to public use, marking the end of its 15-year tenure as the city's municipal office. Located on Cameron Road, the renovated facility will now serve as a hub for recreation, community events, and childcare services.

BGC Okanagan will manage the daycare and after-school care programs within the building. Once at full capacity, the center will provide spaces for 80 children, consisting of 16 spots for children aged 2.5 to 5 years and 64 after-school positions.

The $4.8 million renovation project was completed on time and within budget. Funding was provided by the Province’s Childcare BC New Spaces Fund ($3.6 million), the B.C. Growing Communities Fund ($424,000), and the City of West Kelowna’s Mount Boucherie restoration reserve ($758,000).
