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 peek 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.
