Life Chain in Ottawa - October 2 2022 - from Debbie Duval

#LIFECHAIN2022 EXPANDS INTO NEW COMMUNITIES

On the weekend of Sunday, October 2, almost 300 communities across Canada participated in Life Chain – a substantial increase from the 270 Life Chain locations last year, and the ~250 Life Chain locations in years prior. This Life Chain was the first since the overturning of the major abortion precedent Roe v. Wade south of the border.

Many pro-lifers joined the Life Chain for the first time, along with families, clergy members, political candidates, and pro-life veterans (including one 103-year-old). While attendance is slow to rebound following COVID-19, the reach of the pro-life message is extended with every new community that partakes in this witness to the sanctity of life.

This year, Life Chain has returned to New Brunswick (in five locations!) and will return to Prince Edward Island on October 22, meaning all ten provinces (and one territory!) are contributing to this coast-to-coast activism.  

In contrast, counter-protests have remained limited and were more subdued. While the 2022 Life Chain was not without incidents and rude comments and gestures, organizers continue to report a balance of positive responses.

Conversations were sparked, minds already changed, and multiple post-abortive individuals shared their stories.

Below are photos from 70 of Canada’s Life Chains. Please send your own photos and testimonies to lifechain@campaignlifecoalition.com and note that #LifeChain2023 will be on Sunday, October 1.

As Pat and I and Paula and Barb spent the weekend at Pat's cottage in beautiful Lanark Highlands we were not able to attend the Chain where we usually do which is at the corner of Montreal Road and Saint Laurent Blvd. However, we prayed the rosary for all those affected by abortion during the weekend.

Annual Day of Public Witness for Children Killed by Abortion


Life Chain is held simultaneously in almost 300 locations across Canada each year.

Sunday, October 2, 2022, from 2-3 pm in most locations. See locations here.

A small pro-life group called Please Let Me Live in Yuba City, California held the first Life Chain in 1987, and the United States has had a National Life Chain every year since. Over 30 years ago, in 1990, Campaign Life Coalition brought Life Chain into Canada from the U.S., igniting a powerful public witness in our country that has endured the test of years, saved lives, and changed hearts.

"It is very important to show our recognition of the sanctity of human life from the first moment of conception to natural death. I fully support Lifechain, which seeks to do this." ~His Eminence Thomas Cardinal Collins
