Community Conversation on Breastfeeding - What's Next?

The Capital District Breastfeeding & Baby Friendly Initiative Committee would like to invite you to attend a Community Conversation on Breastfeeding – What’s Next?

In October 2009, the Capital District Breastfeeding and BFI Committee invited a variety of breastfeeding champions together to have a conversation on what the burning issues around breastfeeding are and how we can have an impact, together, moving forward.

There was a lot of passion and dedication in the room that day. What we heard that day was the need for sharing, learning and action. We are excited to move this work forward.

We’re inviting you to join us Wednesday March 31st from 8:30am – 1:30pm (healthy lunch included) at the Mic Mac Amateur Aquatic Club (192 Prince Albert Road, Dartmouth) to act on next steps and build a breastfeeding community of practice.

If you’re interested in joining us – please RSVP by March 26th to Sarah MacDonald
(sarah.macdonald@cdha.nshealth.ca or 481-5886).
