Annual day of public witness for children killed by abortion
Life Chain 2027
“Could you not watch one hour with me?” (Matthew 26:40)
One hour of witness and prayer
Life Chain is a day of public witness and prayer. It takes place every year on the first Sunday of October, simultaneously in many locations, and lasts one hour. Thousands of people stand in silence along streets to affirm respect for every human life, from conception to natural death.
A small pro-life group held the first Life Chain in Yuba City, California, in 1987. In 1990 it came to Canada, where it has borne witness for more than thirty years, saving lives and changing hearts.
On October 4, 2026, Life Chains were held at some 30 locations in Quebec. Read the Life Chain 2026 report.
How it works
Find the place and time of the Life Chain in your area, then come and stand for one hour on the sidewalk with others who publicly and unashamedly witness to their pro-life convictions.
The local organizer will hand you a sign, and you can pray silently for an end to abortion and for all those it touches. If you can, invite a relative, a friend or a neighbour to come with you.

Why it matters
A simple event with a profound impact. Life Chain lets churches and individuals witness to the sacredness of life in their own neighbourhood.
Lives have been saved, hearts have changed, and every year Canadians discover that many of their neighbours also believe life is sacred, and are encouraged to take a stand themselves.
