Demonstrations calling for the regulation of midwifery

Before the College was established, there were public demonstrations calling for midwifery to become regulated. The CBC Archives have posted a 1985 report where reporter Susan Harada talks to midwives and their clients in Ontario. You can watch this archival CBC footage below.
