* IT MAY seem odd to pair investing in children with the
economic’ prosperity of a business, but not according to
Charlie Coffey.
The executive vice, president | for government and. busi-
“ness development forthe: ‘Royal: ‘Bank’ spoke- passionately:
about the benefits of investing in youth at a Terrace and Dis-
trict Chamber of Commerce meeting here Feb. 16. .

The luncheon was attended by” members of the early
childhood education community in addition to local busi-
nesspeople. :

It was. hosted in part by the Council for Healthy Early
Childhood,’ an advisory committee of the Make Children

First initiative, a provincially sponsored program linking
early childhood educators and the community.

Coffee’s message was that businesses developing family-_

“ _'. friendly policies and procedures will seea positive retum on
of that investment down the line. :
Promoting early childhood education’ helps improve
school performance and down in later years contributes to °
increased lifelong learning potential and performance. =
He gave tangible examples of how businesses can con-
tribute to youth including reading to children in. schools,
sponsoring children’s teams and activities and networking:
with other businesses to promote investing in children, he
said. |
“That may. result in changing ‘the culture of business to s|
-encourage family friendly policies that in turn results in n long
" term retention of employees. - a

“The future well-being and economic ic growth of commu-
nities around the entire world rests in:small hands — chil- .
_ dren’s hands,” he said. “‘We must make smart investments in
children and early childhood development."
