During the autumn of 1985 students from the ages of eight to 12 at St. John school in Garson, Ontario prepared posters for a Christian Family Life conference. The posters, which dealt with the themes of “Life is Precious” and “Justice for the Unborn” were displayed locally by Sudbury Right to Life and were so impressive that the group later covered them with plastic and used more than 100 of them as placemats at their annual dinner meeting.
The two posters seen here were drawn by Marcel Beckman and Paul Korzeniecki, both age ten. The posters are strong symbols of hope, reports teacher Lenore Lamont and a sign that even children have a deep understanding of the dignity and rights involved in living.
