March For Life

Join us for the annual March for Life Christchurch 2023! You won’t want to miss it.
Together, we can build a culture of life within Canterbury!

Why should you go? To unite with other Pro-lifers in Canterbury to be a voice for the voiceless.
What will be there? Sausage sizzle, balloons, a bouncy castle, face painting, music and more!!

Our aim for the day is to:
- Be a part of a gathering that celebrates and supports Life.
- Remember the over 500,000 babies who have lost their lives to abortion since the 1970’s.
- Increase public awareness of abortion, and its impact on women, families and society.
- Offer hope to those who are struggling after having an abortion.
- Oppose the Abortion Legislation Bill that was passed by Parliament.

The official March will begin at approximately 2pm. We will walk in unison through Cathedral Square and finish where we started.
Speeches will begin immediately after the March, the estimated duration will be 25 minutes. Following this, there will be a minute of silence for the lives lost to abortion and singing of the national anthem.

Bring your children, partners, aunt, uncle, friends, neighbours, grandparents for this family friendly event! Don’t forget to bring your sunhat, water bottle, sunscreen and picnic blanket.

We encourage you to whip out the arts and crafts and create your own signs!
If this is not an option, there will be some available on the day, although stock will be limited.

We also have t-shirts available to pre-order! They are $30 each and must be ordered before Sunday 27th Aug.
