Provincial Child Care Facilities Licensing Board records
- GR-2667
- Series
- 1968-1979
In 1969 the Community Care Facilities Licensing Act replaced the Welfare Institutions Licensing Act regulating private care facilities in the province. The following year responsibility for the supervision and administration of the Act was transferred from the Department of Rehabilitation and Social Improvement to the Health Branch of the Department of Health Services and Hospital Insurance, as was the Chief Inspector and his staff.
The Provincial Child Care Facilities Licensing Board was instituted about 1976, when the Community Care Facilities Licensing Board was split into the Adult Care and the Child Care Boards. Members on the board included staff of the Department of Health, Department of Human Resources, Department of Education as well as community representatives.
These records consist of files created and received by the Provincial Child Care Facilities Licensing Board (previously the Community Care Facilities Board). They include correspondence with universities and colleges in B.C. relating to the topic of early childhood education and day care supervision courses. They also contain general correspondence with school districts and health units.
