Available exclusively to UBCM member elected officials
During daytime convention programming, childcare services will be available to elected officials of the UBCM membership. UBCM has arranged for Spoon Full of Sugar Nannies to provide qualified, licensed childcare services throughout convention week. The daycare agreement is directly between the Agency, Spoon Full of Sugar Nannies, and each child’s parent.
Child Minding Registration Package
Parents must pre-register each child through UBCM to secure space for this special Convention childcare program. Child minding services will be provided at the Parkside Hotel in direct proximity to the Victoria Conference Centre (VCC). There will be a nominal fee of $30 per day, plus GST, for each child. [Note: this standard daily rate covers services for the entire day or for any partial day that the child participates.]
What is included?
- Children will always be under the supervision of licensed daycare professionals
- Short walks and/or outside activities (weather permitting) in the surrounding areas of the hotel
- Snacks and lunch
What’s not included?
- Breakfast will not be provided
- Children will not be picked up from or delivered to the Parkside Hotel or any hotel
Based on enrolment, UBCM and Spoon Full of Sugar Nannies will determine the number of child care providers needed for the week of Convention. Children two and under will receive 1:1 care as required by the Agency. Should you have specific and specialized care plans for your child, to ensure appropriate care is provided, please reach out to Spoon Full of Sugar Nannies directly to coordinate and book childcare. The childcare program addresses the basic needs of children – including safety, supervision, and socialization – for a broad range of children without specialized or individualized care plans. To ensure a safe and well-prepared environment for children, UBCM requires advanced planning to secure appropriate child care staff and designated play and rest areas. As such, drop-in child minding services will not be available during the Convention.
To register, please complete the Child Minding Registration Package and return to Jackie-Deane at jdcowell@ubcm.ca by Friday, August 15, 2025.
