[Advocacy and Lobbying]

Series consists of event coordination and publicity records, artifacts, correspondence, and Pro-CAN’s various publications, including editions of its quarterly newsletter, The Pro-Choice Press. Artifacts include a fabric banner and promotional pro-choice mail. Correspondence relates mostly to government lobbying on behalf of abortion rights and providers across the province.

[External Organizations]

Series consists of files containing articles, newspaper clippings, event promotional materials, notes, correspondence, and photographs relating to similar pro-choice organizations, care providers, clinics, and practitioners that Pro-CAN maintained connections with. Most files serve as reference resources, but correspondence includes direct contact between Pro-CAN and other pro-choice supporters. Photographs depict anti-choice protestors.

[Management and Administrative Records]

Series consists of minutes and agendas, fundraising records, legal documents, committee information, and general correspondence related to the managerial and administrative duties of Pro-CAN. Legal documents include those dealing with lawsuits, injunctions, and Freedom of Information requests. General correspondence is limited to letters and emails to and from the organization as well as letters of support. For hate mail, see series titled "Safety and Security."

[Safety and Security]
