KRTL to Launch Television Ad Campaign for 2012.Campiagn will pick up where bus ad leaves off.The Kelowna Right to Life Society is working on a major pro life television ad campaign for 2012. The initiative is planned to launch in late January with four different 30 second spots rotating at various times throughout the broadcast day, and will commence near the ending of the pro life bus ad campaign set to go this month. The base tv contract will have 40 spots per month being aired in the Southern BC market, including the major centres of Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, Salmon Arm, Princeton and Revelstoke. KRTL is looking to reach thousands of people with the pro life message throughout 2012, changing hearts and minds, and maybe even saving lives, along the way. Already 3 pro life groups have signed on as partners in the initiative, and the Society is looking for others to support and expand the campaign. It is the goal of the society to attract enough supporters to double and even triple the number of pro life ads aired per month throughout the coming year. Please help us saturate the Southern British Columbia television market with pro life ads by going here to make your online donation through CanadaHelps.org. Thank you for your support!
Pro Life Bus Campaign Begins.Pro Life Message Displayed on City of Kelowna Buses.For 8 weeks beginning December 13th 2011, 2 transit buses will be displaying large pro life messages as they make their rounds around the streets of Kelowna. The ad models a previous atheist ad that received nation-wide attention when it was launched in 2010. That campaign also took place in the Kelowna market. The current campaign is sponsored by the Kelowna Right to Life Society and is funded with the help of grassroots pro lifers in the Central Okanagan. The aim is to educate on the humanity of the unborn child and inhumanity of killing her with abortion. Accompanying the declaration that life begins at conception is an ultrasound image of a child in utero. The ad has already garnered some local media attention, and KRTL hopes the national media will also pick up on the effort.
Life Chain 2011.100 turn out for Life Chain in Kelowna.About 100 people of all ages turned out on Sunday afternoon to take part in the annual Life Chain in Kelowna. The turnout is down from previous years, but the group still managed to line both sides of Highway 97 between Gordon and Ethel. As a comparison, Abbotsford - with a comparable population - saw 500 people turn out for their Life Chain. Across Canada, it is estimated that 30,000 people took part in Life Chain 2011. As is always the case at pro life demonstrations, numerous people expressed their displeasure of the display, with one person intentionally spewing dark exhaust from a truck as he drove past the participants. On the other hand, dozens of commuters showed their approvals with friendly thumbs ups and waves. Kelowna Right to Life organizes the annual event and would like to thank the Dairy Queen at Harvey and Gordon for allowing us the use of their parking lot to organize.

Walk for Life 2011 - Kelowna, BC.Attendence down over previous years.The Kelowna Right to Life Society held its annual fundraiser, The Walk for Life, in Mission Creek Regional Park on Saturday. Event goers were blessed with sunny skies and a record high temperature and enjoyed a pleasurable walk along the Mission Creek Greenway. Upon returning from their walk, the traditional balloon release was held. About 100 balloons were released into the sky, with the hope they will eventually be found by someone who needs to hear the pro life messages enscribed on them. While only about 30 people came out to support the event, over $2000 was raised to help promote a culture of life in the Okanagan. Top fundraisers Lars and Caleb Krohn were responsible for gathering over half of all funds raised! Meanwhile, Marilyn Thalheimer was the lucky winner of a $100 gift certificate from Future Shop in Kelowna. A special thanks to volunteers Krista Krohn and Family, Adrianna Knuth, and Praxair for donating helium for the event. Go here for pictures of the Walk for Life 2011.
Mayor Shepherd Proclaims Pro Life Week in Kelowna.4th consecutive year for week-long event.August 31, 2011 Kelowna, BC; Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd has once again proclaimed the last week of September as Protect Human Life Week in Kelowna. The proclamation is the second of its kind in Canada this year. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson - despite reaffirming his belief in a "woman's right to choose" - designated May 12 as "Respect for Life" day prior to the annual March for Life on the 14th. Predictably, the pro abortion blogosphere experienced a mild eruption over that one. Here in Kelowna, it is the 4th consecutive year Mayor Shepherd has granted Kelowna Right to Life their request. Aside from year one when she received a considerable amount of backlash from those who believe killing unborn babies is a good thing, she has largely escaped criticism of her show of tolerance toward the pro life community in the Central Okanagan. Supporters are encouraged to drop Mayor a Shepherd a quick note thanking her for respecting our mission. She can be reached at mayorandcouncil@kelowna.ca. Kelowna Right to Life has the usual slate of activities planned for the 2011 version of the week. Visit our events section for more information on the events of the week.
The Kelowna Right to Life Society hosted the 10th annual Memorial Service for the Unborn on Tuesday August 23rd on Pandosy Street in front of the abortion facility at KGH. Just under 60 people of all ages showed up to memorialize the hundreds of lives lost at the local hospital over the past 11 years.
Participants sang hymns, prayed for an end to abortion and walked or stood silently along the sidewalk for an hour. The sidewalk was lined with small white crosses representing the souls of all the babies who were not permitted to emerge from their mother's womb alive. It is estimated that Interior Health kills between 700 and 1,000 unborn babies each year at KGH. They advertis abortions up to 13 weeks into pregnancy.
While the pro lifers present consider each life priceless, Interior Health pegs the value of an unborn baby's life at around $500. That is the amount they charge for each abortion.
Abortion is a profound and deeply meaningful act that can leave women, men, grandparents, brothers and sisters hurting in a myriad of ways for months, years, and even decades. Depression, guilt, remorse, anger, and unresolved grief are just a few of the emotional difficulties commonly experienced after abortion. If you or somebody you know is suffering from a past abortion but does not know who to turn to, there is help.
About UsKelowna Right to Life is a non-profit charitable organization working to educate the public about the realities and consequences of abortion and euthanasia. Upholding strong moral values and the promotion of traditional family structures are fundamental elements of this work.**** Kelowna Right to Life believes that the civilization of a society is measured by the care and protection given to its weakest members. We reject the anti-life philosophy that offers death as a solution to human suffering, especially when the label "choice" is used for the killing of pre-natal infants, so-called "useless" members of society, and the infirm and aged. |
Throughout history, judgments from the highest courts in the land have, tragically, come down on the wrong side of "personhood" cases. Women, Blacks, Jews all have felt the sting of being excluded from the human family by our law-makers. Now, it’s the unborn’s turn. Download the "Persons" poster
