LIFE WITH A BABY AND THE CANADIAN RED CROSS PARTNER TO OFFER
FREE BABY/CHILD SAFETY WORKSHOPS

The Canadian Red Cross and Life With A Baby are partnering to provide FREE Baby/Child safety, water safety and injury prevention workshops.

Workshops will be provided in a number of languages and will be available to all parents and caregivers free of cost.  The goal of these workshops is to reduce the nervousness and anxiety that many parents face at home with a new baby and equip them with lifesaving skills.

Life With A Baby is excited to work with The Canadian Red Cross on a provincial level to bring these workshops to new families.  Currently the free workshops are available in York Region, Toronto, Ottawa and Windsor with more areas becoming available in the fall of 2011.

Interested participants can register on www.lifewithababy.com.
