Who we are and what we do.

We exist to foster and promote the ideal that human life is sacred at every stage, from conception to natural death; whether unborn, mentally or physically challenged or elderly and infirm. We seek to educate people to the science that supports this view, and to the abuses of life that occur in our society, like abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia.

We are not a crisis pregnancy councilor (that is The Pregnancy Centre) nor are we politically active (that is Campaign Life Coalition) although we certainly monitor politics and make ourselves heard as individuals.

We are supported by the generous donations of people of the community, but also by membership fees, our annual walkathon and or annual bake and craft sale. We also have an annual dinner.

Throughout the year, we raise community awareness of life issues through Life Chain, silent witness in October. We provide financial support to groups like the National Campus Life Network and the Help Phone, and we provide financial support to students and others to attend pro-life conferences and demonstrations. We are one of the most generous regions supporting Alliance for Life Ontario ’s “Reaching Minds Through Media” campaign, which runs television advertising on main stream stations in prime time. We have participated in several activities supporting this endeavour, including phone campaigns and a gala dinner.

We gather pro-life resources in our downtown office that are available to the community – individuals as well as schools and other organizations. We have tapes, slides, literature and fetal models and are prepared to visit schools, churches and societies by invitation. We distribute a bimonthly newsletter to keep all our membership aware of past and upcoming activities, and current issues in the media. We provide Life Digest to all local interested pastors, an e-based, monthly four page summary of life issues in the news.
