It is with sadness that we announce the passing, on May 18th, of Jim Hughes, founder and first president of Campaign Life Coalition.

Jim Hughes (1943-2026).

Jim Hughes, who was involved in the creation of The Interim, LifeSiteNews, Real Women of Canada, the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, and many others, played a key role in the founding and existence of Quebec Life Coalition. It was he who recruited former diplomat Gilles Grondin — the future founder and first president of QLC — to join CLC to work in Ottawa as a lobbyist with politicians.

In 1988, after the Supreme Court of Canada issued the Morgentaler decision decriminalizing abortion, Jim Hughes, seeing the substantial lack of pro-life organizations in Quebec, asked Gilles Grondin if he could establish such an organization in Quebec.

In 1989, it was done: QLC was officially founded. Subsequently, particularly in the early years, Jim Hughes helped CQV through difficult times, enabling QLC to remain present today. It should be noted that Gilles Grondin occasionally sought Jim Hughes’s advice on the management of his organization; this assistance was mutual. Mr. Grondin also played an important role in the CLC delegation to the UN in the 1990s.

This friendship between these two great men is the foundation of a fruitful collaboration between their organizations, which continues to this day.

Following in their footsteps, we are taking up the torch for the cause of the unborn and the vulnerable. As you can see, this fight to restore a culture of life is a long-term struggle. We strive to continue this monumental work through our presence on the ground — such as the National March for Life in Ottawa or the Life Chain — through gatherings like the Génération Vie congress, and through advocacy on social media.

This work cannot be done without your support, which is why I am appealing to your generosity to make a donation to our cause, which is also yours.
