Notes

In the early 2000’s God spoke to the hearts of co-founders, David Bereit, Shawn Carney and their wives about His grave concern for His precious gift of life, and how it is being abused. Abortion, once considered by society as a serious error, is now considered a woman’s right and is being used as a form of birth control.

The four of them prayed outside their local abortion facility for 40 days, giving rise to the first campaign. Word spread and more and more communities joined to pray outside of abortuaries for the little ones dying inside.  40 Days for Life came to Ottawa in 2008 and has since expanded to Canadian cities from coast to coast. This year 700+ locations worldwide are participating.
In 2017, Ontario Bill 163, the Safe Access to Abortion Services Act, came into effect and, by provincial law, we are not allowed within 50 meters of the abortuary.

We gather daily, between 7 am to 7 pm, on the southwest corner of Queen St. at Bank St. from Sept 25 to Nov 3. We come together to witness to life and pray silently for the little ones who have lost, or will lose, their lives at Ottawa’s main abortion facility (located at 65 Bank St). We also pray for the moms who have suffered abortions; the dads who have lost their children; family members and others impacted by abortion. We pray for those who commit, promote and support abortion – that their hearts will change.

We pray for a Culture of Life in Canada.
