Space does not allow for us to mention everything.
Politically, we send letters to editors and politicians; organize and present petitions to government; lobby members of parliament locally, as well as at the provincial and national levels; take part in pro-life marches at Queen's Park, Toronto, Parliament Buildings in Ottawa and at abortion clinics in Toronto; financially support Campaign Life Coalition; promote pro-life candidates during election; support Family Coalition Party of Ontario and the Christian Heritage Party of Canada. We also participate in the local Life Chain event annually held on the first Sunday of October.
From a practical standpoint, we have instigated the founding of Birthright in Wingham; advertised for Birthright in newspapers, on raido and television, as well as notifiying all doctors in Huron, Bruce and Grey Counties of Birthright services; paid for and continue to financially support the Mount Forest Crisis Pregnancy Centre (currently called Ramoth House), newspaper and television ads; loan our fetal models to the Crisis Pregnancy centre, support Bev Hadland's "Straight Talk", a counselling centre in Toronto. Lastly, we encourage eachother and promote our cause by holding an annual dinner which has taken place every year since 1975. We look forward to our 40th annual dinner in April 2014.
We have made an impact. We know of babies whose lives have been saved because of our efforts. For that, we praise and thank God and implore His aid and the aid of His people to continuing our work on behalf of all members of the human family whose lives are in peril.
