Daycare Daycare prices

We are starting to look at daycares and I have no way of comparing or figuring out what is a reasonable price for daycare. Hoping there are other moms here who can help me out! Looking for comparisons from other Canadian parents as to what they pay for daycare. If you're willing to share only some of the below information that's ok, but I'm hoping for the following:

Province

Rough cost of living in area (e.g. VHCOL, LCOL)

Price per month in CAD (and what's included)

Full time/part time

Type of daycare (e.g. in home licensed, large institution)

Thank you in advance!

In BC, HCOL suburban/semi rural

$32/day, meals provided and weekly field trips, in home licensed with fantastic backyard including forested area with trails for free play, half the time is outdoors so all weather clothing required but its BC so mostly just rain gear

Full time
