Ottawa 24h Pro-Life Crash Course

Are you looking for an opportunity to learn how to reach and transform the culture on the issue of abortion? Are you looking for a chance to gain hands-on experience in how to do effective pro-life activism in your own community? Do you want to be trained in how to effectively and compassionately share the pro-life position with your fellow Canadians? Do you want to gain invaluable experience changing minds and saving lives through proven pro-life outreach projects? If you have answered, “YES!” to any or all of these questions, then the Ottawa 24h Pro-life Crash Course is for you!

Run in partnership between Ottawa Against Abortion and the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (CCBR), the 24h Crash Course is focused on building up a groundswell of pro-life activists dedicated to changing hearts and minds and saving lives. This high calibre pro-life training will include talks on strategy, apologetics and heart apologetics, and participants will have an opportunity to put this training into practice by participating in pro-life outreach alongside experience activists. While CCBR's full 3-day Crash Course for activists is offered each Summer in Toronto, this is a unique opportunity to be equipped with core pro-life training from CCBR speakers to effectively change hearts and minds locally in Ottawa.

Here’s what one past attendee said about how CCBR's Crash Course training impacted him:

“If there is one thing I can say about the CCBR Crash Course, it is that it equipped me to be an effective and bold ambassador for pre-born children. I joined with absolutely no experience talking to people about abortion, and in a few short days I saw many people change their minds after short conversations. And best of all, two parents who had abortions scheduled for their children changed their minds and their babies were saved! I would recommend the Crash Course to anyone, experienced or not, who wants to defend pre-born children from the cold and destructive procedure of abortion.”
