Our Environmental Posters Used to Promote Breastfeeding in Canada

We are excited that Oxford County Health Unit in southwestern Ontario, Canada has again used our services to provide billboard designs to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week. They were displayed for the month of October and again are receiving a great response.

Breastfeeding Billboard

Last year Oxford County’s Health Unit in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, chose to promote breastfeeding and the environment for World Breastfeeding Week.

With an altered copy we supplied of our Environmental poster, they printed two billboards which will be displayed for the month of October at the entrances to Woodstock and Ingersoll. They are very pleased and have already received rave reviews and more positive comments than any other billboard they have displayed in the past.

Oxford County has a mostly rural population of approximately 100,000. Additional posters were purchased to distribute to their local health units, outreach sites and local doctors’ offices.
