Invitation from Primetime Insurance
MBC Chair, Kim Weatherall, has negotiated an opportunity for MBC members to potentially save money on insurance coverage. A letter outlining this opportunity from Primetime Insurance is posted in the Members Only section of the MBC website under Discounts. This is an optional benefit that MBC members can choose to investigate if they would like to compare rates with their current insurance policy. There is no obligation to do so. This offer is simply an opportunity that some MBC members may wish to take advantage of before their insurance comes due by contacting Primetime in advance to request a free no obligation quote. Please log-in to the Members Only section under Discounts to download the letter of invitation from Primetime Insurance for details. This is also an MBC Affiliate Program - help raise funds for MBC!
Songs Just For ME - Another NEW Discount
Multiple Births Canada has teamed up with Songs Just For ME to raise funds for MBC (10% of every purchase) while also offering MBC Members a special discount. Songs Just For ME is a children’s CD like you’ve never heard before. Each CD is customized with the child’s name on the cover, and on the disc. Your child’s name is sung over 75 times. New, interactive lyrics teach concepts like safety, nutrition, transportation, the ABCs, animals, colors and even new languages by singing directly to your child. Latin, Country, Techno and even Rock ‘n’ Roll rhythms play as the child’s name is sung in every song. And you can feel good about your purchase, as partial proceeds support the Hospital for Sick Children. Best suited for young fans ages 0–6 but we promise that grown ups will love to sing along too! Please log-in to the Members Only section under Discounts to get your MBC discount codes and further details to order your CDs. This is also an MBC Affiliate Program - help raise funds for MBC!
