I'm on the West Coast of Canada in BC, but also lived in Southeastern Canada, 
in Ontario, for many many years and got my start as a breastfeeding expert 
there.

From my experience, the only official mother-to-mother support with a focus 
on breastfeeding here in Canada is La Leche League...but...some communities 
do have their own systems, such as buddy-to-buddy and community outreach 
services.

Here in BC (and in some of the other provinces) there are some great services 
in which mother-to-mother support happens naturally, but the focus is not 
breastfeeding.  One such program is Healthy Beginnings - run by public health 
and the other is the Parent-Child Mother Goose Program - run by community 
outreach and/or public health.

Blessings!
