From a dear friend and colleague - who helps to move mountains:

 

Hello everyone,

      I am pleased to say that on calling the Union Inn just moments ago, I
found out that Abbott Nutrition cancelled their Edmonton dinner and live
event for health professionals titled : Advancing Infant Formula Science.
The online seminar is still on.  

     I believe it has been the cross-Canada, even international, pressure
put on by those people such as yourselves who wrote to organizers and
speakers that contributed to this cancellation of the live event in
Edmonton. 

       Having listened in,  I was surprised at the little "speech" at the
close by Dr. Gibson-his final few words on the importance of breastfeeding.
I think  two of the speakers ( Gibson and Sherman) seemed to be aware of
their violation of the Code.  Rather a shame that Dr. Gibson's supportive
words had to be in this venue sponsored by Abbott.    

          A particular thank you to the women in Edmonton many of whom are
part of the Breastfeeding Action Committee of Edmonton
http://www.facebook.com/BACEpage  who would brave the -30C to go out and
stand up for the Code, breastfeeding, breastfeeding babies, and moms
everywhere, because  the International Code protects ALL babies-not just
those who are breastfed.  

        We may prepare a final press release, so possibly one more post from
me on this issue.   

   Thank you!

    Sincerely,

 

Jennifer Peddlesden BScPharm IBCLC
