Prince Edward Island town mobilizes for single mother with triplets
TIGNISH, P.E.I. — They say it takes a village to raise a child, and one small P.E.I. community has been personifying that proverb after a single mother gave birth to triplets.
Residents of Tignish, a town of roughly 700 in western P.E.I., have come forward to help Hayley Arsenault, who gave birth on Jan. 5 at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax.
There’s even a signup sheet to keep track of daily shifts to babysit little Hogan, Rylan and Finn.
“We are bonding with them already. They’re just precious,” said Tignish retiree Alice Mokler, 70.
