The province says up to 49 more child-care spaces are being added in Glace Bay.
New Dawn Enterprises is getting funding to create the spaces that will be located in its Glace Bay Youth and Family Centre.
The non-profit group, that got $1.35 million, offers programs and services that focus on supporting low-income youth and families in Cape Breton.
The project is expected to be complete by March of next year.
Funding for the project is part of the Child Care Agreement signed by the province and Ottawa.
