Over the holiday break I visited lots of friends that recently became new Moms!  Below I've provided information on how to celebrate these new Moms during your nex trip to Victoria; also some very helpful info if you actually live here!

MeetUp Clubs - various communities within Victoria offer 'MeetUp' groups for Moms
A great way to coordinate playdates, make new friends, schedule outings or to garner general support from like-minded individuals.  Currently available in Mill Bay, North Saanich, Victoria - plus, some groups are specific to the Dads that might need a little extra support.
