Les sages-femmes du Québec is a group similar to CSMC, focused on expanding and supporting midwifery in Quebec. There is an excellent timeline of activities in Quebec:

“Birth Unlimited began in 1975 as the Alternative Birthing Group, a group of midwives and consumers interested in natural birth options. The group then became involved with NAPSAC (The National Association of Parents and Professionals for Safe Alternatives in Childbirth) based in the United States and thus was renamed CAPSAC, The Calgary Association of Parents and Professionals for Safe Alternatives in Childbirth. The group was legally incorporated as a non-profit association in 1982 and changed its name to Birth Unlimited in 1999.” (Calgary, Alberta)

“The Midwifery Coalition believes that midwifery provides the highest standard of care for mothers, babies and families. They believe it is an important part of maternity care and is a choice that should be available to families in Nova Scotia. They are working to have midwifery accepted as part of Nova Scotia’s health system and to have midwifery care covered by MSI.” (Nova Scotia, Canada)

“The Association for Safe Alternatives in Childbirth is a part of a growing network of parents and health professionals who believe that childbirth is a normal, healthy part of life, of special significance to the pregnant woman and her family.” (Alberta, Canada)
