Our Events

Join Us

Kelowna Milk Depot

Help us collect milk for BCW's Milk Bank. Milk from a baby's own mother is always the first choice. Donor milk is especially important for sick and tiny babies.

​

Despite the important health impacts that breastfeeding offers, there are social and historical barriers that get in the way of more widespread practice. Art provides a dynamic format for encouraging social change by elevating the importance of breastfeeding in a new and interactive way.
The Breastfeeding Art Expo aims to increase dialogue on healthy child development through a range of artistic activities in BC communities. With the support of 15 local artists and a broad-based group of community organizations in the Okanagan, work will be created – from dance to film to traditional Aboriginal art – to highlight the vital role that breastfeeding plays in overall child health.
