Pro-Life Project: "Help Save a Life" Calendar project is now in it's ninth year! Backgrounder. In the spring of 2000, Brother Anthony
Council #10014 (St. Albert, Alberta, Canada) undertook a pro-life calendar project and sought involvement from local junior high and high school students. It was a pilot project called "Help Save a
Life," in which the most inspirational student submissions of art and poetry were selected and printed in a year 2001 calendar. We believed that the voices of students, through their art and poetry,
could "save life" and promote a positive attitude for life. It was our wish that those purchasing the calendar would place it in their kitchens or other prominent places and use it on a daily
basis. In this way it was hoped that a pro-life attitude would be developed and nurtured. International Recognition! The November 2000 issue of Columbia Magazine
published a feature article on our pilot project, the Pro-life Calendar for 2001. [An HTML version of the article is available here.]
The 2001 calendar was deemed to be a success! Almost $10,000 was generated from the sales and turned over to support pro-life activities in Alberta and the North West Territories! 
Each year, thousands more have been raised by calendar sales and been directed toward pro-life initiatives in Alberta and NWT. Link to information concerning the origin of this worthwhile project:
2002 Calendar
In 2002, the scope of the student artwork was increased to include some areas outside of the Greater St. Albert School
Division #29. Once again, the submissions were thought-provoking and inspiring.
