The Town of Brome Lake is preparing to launch two new programs that will work hand-in-hand to support families with young children. 

According to Claire Citeau, Family Resource agent for the municipality, a toy lending library and a toddler assistance program (dépannage bambin) will soon be made available to families in Brome Lake. 

Highlighting the expensive costs associated with children’s toys and equipment, such as strollers and play pens, Citeau told CIDI that the two programs will provide families with the opportunity to borrow certain items that they may need or want for their children free of charge.

Before the two programs are officially up and running, Citeau noted that the municipality is currently looking for donations of toys and equipment that are in good condition in order to offer families a variety of items that can help meet their needs.
