La Leche League Canada, a national charitable organization, seeks to encourage, promote and provide mother-to-mother breastfeeding support and educational opportunities as an important contribution to the health of children, families and society. La Leche League Leaders operate more than 200 La Leche League Canada Groups in communities across the country. Each Group holds monthly meetings where Leaders facilitate informal, guided discussions. During these discussions mothers receive accurate, up-to-date and personalized breastfeeding information and support for their role as a breastfeeding parent. In addition, mothers are able to draw on the experience of other mothers who attend. LLLC Leaders also offer telephone and email help to nursing and pregnant women seeking breastfeeding information. In the Sarnia area, women looking for breastfeeding help may email Sharon at LLLSarnia@gmail.com. A free email newsletter with excellent articles on current breastfeeding research and La Leche League Canada news is available. To subscribe send an email to pat.millar@ns.sympatico.ca
