Minister, expert visit islands

Dr. Clyde Hertzman along with Early Childhood Development Minister Linda Reid brought research findings of the Early Childhood Mapping Project to the islands earlier this week, making presentations to child development workers in both Masset and Skidegate.
By next spring, Dr. Hertzman's team will have information on the development of every five year old in the province, says Ms Reid. The project will show child development, community assets and socio-economic characteristics for every region.
Communities will use the information to decide about where money should be spent to support children's development, says Ms Reid.
