Dr. Laura Lewis
Medical Doctor, CCFP, and PCC Executive Director
“During the twenty-two years that I worked as a family physician I cared for many young women who were challenged with an unintended pregnancy. Some of these women felt very overwhelmed and pressured, mostly by their circumstances and fears. What they needed was information and support, support that was not available from me or from any other service in our town. It was the support they needed to be empowered to make their own well-informed pregnancy decision - because every decision before them – whether to parent, place for adoption, or have an abortion, was a life-impacting one. I think we can all agree that individuals make much better choices when they feel safe, encouraged, supported, and when there are practical alternatives available to them.”
Anne Waddell
Executive Director, Central Alberta Pregnancy Care Centre
“I am Québécoise and I have more than 15 years of experience in pregnancy support, so I am very excited to see the vision of this project realized and make a difference in my home province.”
Marcy Amendt
Program Director, Centre Options, Châteauguay, QC
“Having experienced my own unplanned pregnancy as a teenager, and now in my role with Options in Châteauguay, my heart is to see pregnancy care available across Quebec.”
Doug Blair
Board Chair of Pregnancy Care Canada
Founding Pastor of Bluewater Baptist Church in Sarnia, Ontario
“I always have a heart for the ministry dans la belle province. So, I'm happy to hear that a group of Christian leaders in Quebec will start a Pregnancy Help Center called Aide Grossesse. I know some members of the board of directors and I am very encouraged to see them involved in this ministry. I would like to encourage church leaders and members to consider supporting and join this important project.”
Rev. Steven Jones
President of the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada
“I would strongly endorse any support toward the current initiative to begin a new pregnancy centre in Quebec. As a former pastor of 30 years where my churches always supported the local pregnancy centre, I am thrilled to hear there are plans to open a Pregnancy Centre in Quebec. I personally know some of the Board members and know of their integrity and passion for this type of ministry. I would encourage all Christians who consider life sacred and desire to care for women who find themselves in crisis, to prayerfully consider supporting this new and critically important ministry to women and babies.”
Bradley Morrice
Pastor of l'Église du Plateau Mont-Royal
“As a pastor I wouldn't know where to start, or how to get in touch with women who might need help. So I can't explain the great joy it gave me when Aide Grossesse wrote to me to tell me that they were in contact with a young woman in my neighbourhood who had asked them for help.”
