Multiple Births Canada
Mission:
Multiple Births Canada’s mission is to improve the quality of life for multiple birth individuals and their families in Canada. We fulfill our mission by providing support, education, research, and advocacy, locally, nationally and internationally to individuals, families, Chapters, and organizations that have a personal or professional interest in multiple birth issues.
The Edmonton Twin & Triplet Club and its members are pleased to be part of Multiple Births Canada. Below we highlight some of the benefits from this membership.

Multiple Moments
All members receive access to the four quarterly issues of the Multiple Moments newsletter (available on-line in the member’s only section of the MBC website). This is an extremely well written newsletter that contains a lot of good information pertaining specifically to multiple-birth families. Since it is a National publication, the stories and information are so much broader than what we can provide at a local level.
MBC Website
The website is full of valuable information, reference materials and links to all kinds of valuable websites. For example, the website contains:
- Many of the initiatives that the national organization (MBC) is working on.
- Information about National Multiple Births Awareness Day and the Making a Difference Awards.
- Links to MBC Facebook Pages and Support Networks for preterm-births, breastfeeding, special needs, loss, higher order multiples (triplets +), fathers, lone parents, Francophone, adult multiples and LGBTQ+.
- Clear, concise and easy to use information.
- In the Members Section – MBC member’s only fact sheets (free), a list of discounts, coupons and free gifts for parents of multiples. It is worth the time to prepare a form letter and make copies of their birth certificates so that you can mail these out easily after the babies are born.
- Prenatal information, links, publications and tips from other multiple parents.
- Interesting categories with life stories that all MBC Chapters can share and contribute to.
