Vine Parkette Babywearing class images over at Junction Parents blog

 

Over at the Junction Parents Blog there are a bunch of  images of  a free babywearing  class that took place on Monday at the parkette , which was by taught by Lindsay Viets-Moore. It's great to see Vine Ave.  Parkette come back to direct community organized activities. For many years the park had much of this, but not so much for the past 15 or so years . Hopefully more of this happens.

Over at the Junction Parents Blog this post details an idea for a spring equinox event at the Junction City Square.

This is an exceptional idea, The beauty of the idea is that that it creates a further grasp of how small groups can create a special places and memories as a adhoc team to enhance and build their community at street level for everyone. Hopefully efforts like this will radiate in the minds and actions of many more peiople in the community. The quality of the of the Junction has been it's community actions - such as the doubling of the size of Vine Park during the 70's to the un won but not lessened effort to save the CPR Station at Annette St and Dundas St.

Hopefully people are drawn to this creative, and alternative, idea to make it a big success.

Junction Parents blog post on- Breastfeeding clinic funding problems

The Junction Parents blog has an post about Dr. Jack Newman's Breastfeeding clinic is out of funds... again

From the The Toronto Star click the above link to visit The Junction Parents Blog for a link to the complete story and a link to the clinics site

A renowned Toronto clinic that has helped thousands of mothers successfully breastfeed their infants is pleading for financial help to keep its doors open.

The Newman Breastfeeding Clinic & Institute, which sees about 2,400 mothers a year and is a popular resource for educators and health-care professionals, has been financed privately by a family foundation since 2005.

On Sept. 30 that arrangement will end, clinic founder and pediatrician Dr. Jack Newman said yesterday. The clinic will only be able to operate for a couple of months without more money. Newman is prepared to use his own savings, but only for a little while.
