This today from the CP wire news service.  It's very good to hear
that this was resolved favourably......and that it's getting press.


TORONTO -- A Toronto-area restaurant has apologized to a woman
who was asked to leave when she tried to breastfeed her child.
Cindy Rock was told by staff at the Hounds and Heather
Restaurant that she would have to breastfeed her baby in the
washroom or leave.
Rock said she and her two other children were so humiliated by the
1996 incident that she complained to the Ontario Human Rights
Commission.
But the case was settled by the two sides without a formal hearing.
Rock's lawyer Lucy McSweeney says there was also financial
compensation with the apology, but she won't reveal the amount.
In a letter of apology, the restaurant says staff members were never
told to treat her the way they did.
McSweeney says the settlement is an important step to ensure
businesses treat breastfeeding women the same as any other
customer.
