Here in Saskatoon, Public Health Services has instituted a fee for prenatal
classes. There are distinct programs for
low-income/single/aboriginal/at-risk women, the services of which are
provided free of charge (including milk coupons, vitamins, home visits
etc.), but for the regular evening programs, couples pay a fee.
