Kelowna will be among 1,600 communities across North America taking part in the Life Chain pro-life public demonstration simultaneously.

The Life Chain, where people line up together at the intersection of Gordon Drive and Harvey Avenue, linked arm in arm, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on Sunday.

The local organizer for the event, the  Kelowna Right to Life Society, anticipates up to 300 people will take part this year.
