In addition, this program also supports women who have limited social support and who may be new to Canada. The Rexdale Women's Centre's staff provides information and referral, connects moms to resources in the community and provides support for day to day living and challenges. The Rexdale Women's Centre works in partnership with the Etobicoke Brighter Futures Coalition, Toronto Public Health, and the Rexdale Community Health Centre, to encourage healthy pregnancies and reduce the risk of low birth weight babies.
