Denise Hounjet-Roth, the President, in a very short time has given us one more reason to remember Saskatchewan. Spreading her infectious energy she revitalized the provincial chapter and, as a co-ordinator of Liberals for Life in Saskatchewan, she helped make the last Liberal Leadership campaign one which will never be forgotten.
Denise, a teacher in the French Immersion Programme, her husband, Louis, and five-year-old son live in Saskatoon and await the birth of their second child in July.
Leonard Possberg, a long-time pro-life activist serves as Vice-President. Together with Jean, his wife, and their four children, Leonard lives in the Humboldt district where he operates their hog and grain farm.

Jim McGettigan, medical practitioner, is the founder and past-president of CLC Saskatchewan. A long-time pro-life activist, Jim is married with three children and lives in Saskatoon, where he has practised for 20 years.
Cecilia Forsyth, a co-founder of CLC Saskatchewan, deserves special mention. A twenty-year veteran of the pro-life movement, Cecilia has seen many campaigns and has lobbied scores of politicians.
Cecilia, a native of Texas, was never afraid to state her views in the face of opposition, she never avoided hard work and she never compromised. After having raised four sons, Cecilia and her husband, George, are taking a sabbatical in the United States.
We look forward to her return to the Canadian pro-life movement and wish her God’s every blessing.
