To celebrate Canada’s Breastfeeding Week Oct. 1-7, Battle River Treaty 6 Health Centre had a Lunch and Learn with clients at the BRT6HC building catered by Midwest Foods on Sept 29. Adele Sperle and Sherry Fraser MCed the day and there were special words shared by an elder, Arleen Pelltier. Everyone got to participate in some truth and myth facts on breastfeeding and there were lots of breastfeeding stories shared. After lunch everyone headed over to the Capitol Theatre where BRT6HC had partnered with Prairie North Health Region for the screening of MILK, which is a documentary that looks at breastfeeding and birthing across four continents. It is an empowering film and everyone got to have some theatre popcorn and to enjoy the show. There were 156 people who attended which filled the theatre right up. It was a wonderful day to celebrate all those amazing breastfeeding mothers in our community.
