The P.E.I. Breastfeeding Coalition has put together 47 "Making Breastfeeding Your Business" kits. The main ingredient in the kit is a sign for the business owner to display that reads, "You are welcome to breastfeed here". Coalition representative, Janie Bulger, right, is currently distributing the kits in West Prince as a pilot project but expect to be taking the project Islandwide. One of the stops on her route is Saunders Variety in Alberton, where she presented the kit to Brittany Ramsay, store employee.
The coalition has compiled 47 "Making Breastfeeding Your Business" kits with a welcome sign and information for the owners, which they are distributing to businesses and organizations from Tyne Valley to Tignish.
