Summary: In the five years between the 2006 census and the one in 2011, the population of Clarenville grew by more than 14 percent. The number of children under 14 rose by 8 percent. That's good news for a community that's increasingly becoming a home for workers on big projects in Long Harbour and Bull Arm. It's also causing a crunch in the childcare sector. Many of the new residents of the community are young parents, and they just can't find adequate daycare in the town. Colin Holloway heads up the board of the Neighbourhood of Friends Family Resource Centre in Clarenville. And Charlene Johnson is the provincial minister of Child, Youth and Family Services.
