the Children and Family Services Division of the Alberta Government first to determine whether they require a license and/or
other provisions for the operations they are proposing.

Development Services Branch of the City of Edmonton to ensure that the activities being proposed will be allowed under the
Edmonton Zoning Bylaw for that specific address.

Child Care Services means a development intended to provide temporary care and supervision for children. This Use typically
includes early learning and child care programs that are facility-based such as daycares, out-of-school care, and preschools
