GTA Families Love the
Award Winning Mother To Be Expo!
Canada’s Touchstone to Balanced Life
Angela was overcome
with emotion as she told Quality Of Life Omnimedia that this was her first
pregnancy and her first time ever winning anything. “This was an amazing show. I got so much information, a gift bag, a gift
certificate worth $50 and I won the stroller!”
It is best to
register in advance at www.mothertobeexpo.ca. You may also call 416 945 8315
but registering on-line will give you free admission for your family (save $3
per ticket) and a free 2 year subscription to Parents & Kids Magazine and
one additional free door prize ticket.
The door prizes at every show location are many and quite valuable. At every show the high ticket item might
include a stroller, high chair, travel blankets. There are also countless toys, Canada’s
top parenting books and more…
The presenters for
the stage show are the most respected
in the industry. This is why the crowds to the show have more than doubled this year. Expect to see over 300 expectant parents at
each location. You will be treated well
though, with comfortable seats and even refreshments at some, but not all
locations.
It’s an INFORMATION
AND PRIZE PACKED evening of exclusive pregnancy technology and wellness
news.
It is where you can
talk to Canada’s
top pregnancy, wellness and childbirth experts.
If you live in the Greater Toronto
Area make sure you register for a chance to have them entertain, encourage and
inspire you. If you need information
about choosing a doula or lactation consultant you will meet and hear her speak
with competence. Many aids to a pain-reduced
childbirth are presented. You will also
learn the best way to help a baby with infant colic.
They highlight of the evening is the infant first aid demonstration, presented
by Red Cross. They have been at every Mother To Be Expo for many years.
