About ALIES.

Alberta Life Issues Educational Society (ALIES) is a faith-based, interdenominational non-profit organization and a federally registered charity. We operate throughout the province of Alberta. ALIES gathers, develops and distributes information on a broad range of life issues. These include abortion, euthanasia, reproduction technologies, pregnancy, birth control, and human sexuality.  

ALIES is governed by a Board of Directors and operated by an Executive Director.

Our mission is to educate Albertans on the sanctity and dignity of all human life from conception to natural death to create and promote a culture of life.

The Life House

A Calgary Ministry

Life House provides educational programming and training to equip the prolife community for meaningful conversations. Life House is also a place where pro-life groups gather and work as a collective.

The Back Porch

An Edmonton Ministry

An honest conversation about abortion, adoption, parenting, and pregnancy can be challenging. Our ministry provides pregnancy options information, referrals, and material and emotional support to pregnant women and their families. We do not refer for abortions.

Meet the Team.

  • Emily Jones

    Executive Director

    Emily’s background is in aviation, and initially moved to Edmonton for a flight instructor job. Through some church connections, she got introduced to ALIES and began volunteering; first as a prayer warrior and later as a client advocate. Through a pilgrimage to Portugal for World Youth Day in 2023, she came to eventually leave her career in aviation to transition into the life saving work of ALIES!

  • Rachel Atumisi

    The Back Porch Coordinator

    Rachel was introduced to the pro-life movement in 2011 by a friend who invited her to pray in front of the abortion clinic. From that moment on, more opportunities to attend pro-life events started unfolding in her life. Rachel did not choose the pro-life movement; the pro-life movement chose Rachel. She is grateful to the Lord for the opportunity He gave her to minister to these ladies who are facing emotional challenges. Rachel has a Bachelor degree in Sociology and completed a bilingual clerk certificate.

    Outreach Coordinator

  • Jocelynn Rodrigues

    Program Coordinator

    Jocelynn Rodrigues has a heart for those stuck in the silence of post-abortion grief. Knowing the lasting trauma of abortion herself, as well as the healing grace and forgiveness of the Lord Jesus Christ, she seeks to help other post-abortive women and men. She prays that abortion will be, one day, unthinkable in all minds and hearts. She dedicates her work to her sweet and precious daughter, Abigale Winter Rose, who is with our Heavenly Father. Jocelynn has a background in professional accounting, and used to work as a CPA-CA, then went back to school for social work.

  • Christin Rosa

    Administrative Assistant

    Christin has a background in Education, and has taught a range of ages and topics, from kindergarten to English classes at a University in China to employability skills training for immigrant moms in Calgary. After experiencing a traumatic prenatal diagnosis for her unborn son and the ensuing pressure to abort him, she became passionate about speaking up for the rights of the unborn and helping women avoid the trauma of abortion. She is thrilled to be a part of the ALIES team.
