A Peak Into Life Chain 2026

 https://lifechain.ca/a-peak-into-the-2026-life-chain/

Now in its 36th year, the Canadian Life Chain took place across ~375 locations, with every province and territory once again represented, with the exception of Nunavut.

Buoyed by lovely weather in most areas, an estimated 15,000+ participated, most on Sunday, October 4, but some on the surrounding days.

Many Life Chain organizers reported an increase in positive responses and/or that they outnumbered negative ones. Life Chain participants in one British Columbian city were treated to free snacks and drinks by a nearby local business.

At the same time, more counter-protests were planned than last year. This opposition fueled considerable debate about the abortion issue and free speech on social media, further extending the reach of the pro-life message.

Below are over 100 photos offering a peak into what the 2026 Life Chain looked like from the Pacific to the Atlantic.

The next Life Chain will be on Sunday, October 3, 2027.

Ottawa spends thousands to "wrap" buses in Pride colours

Ottawa spends thousands to "wrap" buses in Pride colours

Ottawa spent $79,189.27 over four years to wrap its buses in Pride colours. In 2023 and 2024, they wrapped one bus a year. Then in 2025 and 2026 they wrapped two buses each year. Does this mean that next year they will wrap four buses? Maybe a whole fleet of buses?

This for a bus system that ended 2025 with a deficit of $52 million.

We prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet between 7 and 8AM with Anthony from Holy Cross Parish, and the Rosary and various other prayers after that.

Life Chain - Ottawa, October 4, 2026 - Corner of Montreal Road and Saint Laurent BLVD

There were approximately thirty in attendance, including the three priests from Annunciation of the Lord parish and a Deacon from St. Ignatius Martyr Parish in Ottawa.. We noticed there was less hostility towards us this year as compared to previous years, and there also seemed to be more positive acknowledgements, with many thumbs-ups from passers by and seemingly car honking  approval. 

Glory and Praise to our God!
