The Greater Victoria Early Childhood Coalition has submitted a letter to Mayor Causton regarding the request to make a presentation to the Council on Early Childhood Health and Development in Oak Bay. The presentation request was turned down at a Council meeting in December and the Coalition was asked to redirect the request to the Mayor directly via a letter providing further information on what the presentation would be about. The Mayor could decide independently as to whether the request will be approved. His response is pending.

New programs have begun in Oak Bay for infants/toddlers. Some new classes were the result of our consultation with Oak Bay Recreation. Some classes have been cancelled - like Baby OM and MotherGoose. Apparently, now there is a time, location, and enough moms to run the Mother Goose class, but no instructor available, so if you can recommend one, please contact us.

The Breastfeeding Challenge, supported by Vancouver Island Health Authority, held last Saturday had the largest group in Canada at 104 latches. It was an interesting event. The youngest baby there was only 3 days old!
