City Use of Canadian Code of Advertising Standards Compiled August 2017 by Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada. Last updated June 27, 2021. About 141 cities/towns across Canada are on this list. Selection was based on population size (largest), and also whether the anti-abortion groups Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (CCBR) or Show the Truth (STT) had ever been active there to our knowledge, showing or distributing their graphic imagery of aborted foetuses. The latter criteria added about 16 smaller communities to the list. Yellow-shaded cities/towns are where anti-choice groups have shown aborted fetus imagery. The list is in alphabetical order by province, then city.
