The annual breastfeeding challenge is taking place this weekend.

The event will take place this Saturday at a new location, the Northern Health Authority administrative building beside the Thompson Hospital. The event was previously held at Wapanohk Community School.

Registration will start at 10:00am, with latch-on starting at 11:00am.There will be snacks and door prizes.

The challenge is to have the highest number of babies breastfeeding at the same time, and the results will be calculated in relation to the population of Thompson, and then compared with other participating communities.
