NEWS RELEASE
June 8, 2005
YMCA CHILD CARE CENTRE COMING TO SURREY CENTRAL CITY
The Optima high-rise development in Surrey Central City will be home to a new 4,300 square foot child care facility operated by the YMCA of Greater Vancouver.
The YMCA Child Care Centre at Optima will add two programs to the five the organization currently runs in the Surrey/White Rock area. The programs will serve 37 local children, aged toddler to pre-school, and their families.
The Optima's three high-rise towers will be built with advanced pre-manufactured customized panel technology, patented by the project's developers, International Hi-Tech Industries Inc. (IHI) of Vancouver. The Optima's efficient and fast building methods help keep labor and building costs down. The benefits for potential buyers are a state of the art building, for a more reasonable price than conventional concrete high rises in the area.
"We were impressed with the quality of this project, and are pleased to be able to partner with IHI to provide its new community with accessible, quality child care services," says Bill Stewart, YMCA of Greater Vancouver President and CEO.
Set to open in 2008, the YMCA Child Care Centre at Optima will be located in a stand-alone building, featuring the same technology as the high-rise towers. "It is a great honour to have the YMCA work with us to provide quality child care for the Optima's residents and local community," says Roger A. Rached, President & CEO of IHI.
As the largest child care provider in the Lower Mainland, the YMCA is well known for its tradition of quality, community-based care.
International Hi-Tech Industries Inc. is a company whose principal business is the development and commercialization of an advanced building technology in Canada, and internationally through its subsidiary, IHI International Holdings Ltd. The Company's building technology is held under license. For information about IHI and the Optima, please visit the corporate website at www.ihi.ca / www.optimaliving.ca.
