Cam Côté
Cam is the host of the Pro-Life Guy’s Podcast, and while doing full-time pro-life work has been a massive step outside of his comfort zone, the last ten years have proven God’s incredible grace in this ministry and has given Cam the opportunity to train audiences throughout North America in having compassionate and compelling conversations about abortion, as well as participate and lead outreach in small towns and big cities all along the way.
Since graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Victoria in 2013 he has had approximately well over 1,000 conversations with complete strangers about abortion through his work with CCBR, the parent organization for The Pro-Life Guys Podcast. Through these conversations, and through working with staff, interns, and volunteers with pro-life organizations from around the world, Cam has gained invaluable experience and insight which he’s been privileged to share at local, regional, national, and international pro-life conferences.
Cam lives in Calgary, Alberta with his wife and two children, and serves as the Western Outreach Director at CCBR. There’s hardly an argument he hasn’t heard, there’s hardly a Canadian community he hasn’t done activism in, and he’s excited to bring the lessons he’s learned to this podcast to help you avoid the mistakes that he’s made, and ensure that you can change minds, save lives, and be a part of transforming our culture.

Cameron has been involved in equipping pro-life individuals and groups from around the world, including campus, community, and national pro-life organizations in Canada, the USA, and England. He has been the keynote speaker at dozens of galas and banquets, as well as being featured as a speaker at LifeCanada’s 2019 National Pro-Life Conference and the Virtual Catholic Apologetics Conference in 2020 hosted by Matt Fradd and Pints with Aquinas. He has served on the board of directors for local, regional, and national pro-life groups across Canada, and loves speaking to audiences at high schools, universities, churches, and pro-life groups regarding his experience in the pro-life movement and how more people can have minds changing and life saving conversations about abortion.

Cam Côté of The Pro-Life Guys Podcast gave our parish a clear and practical pro-life presentation. In it, a useful technique was acquired that can be applied in a conversation trying to help someone realize the realities of abortion. The beauty of this technique is it begins with starting the conversation where people are at, using their own reasoning, rather than trying to move them to a place where they’re not ready or prepared to go yet. It’s a three-step process of conversation that allows the other, who’s hearts you would like to change, see the realities of abortion through another lens, thereby planting a seed that may grow to a fuller understanding of the realities of abortion. I strongly recommend inviting Cam Côté to share this technique with your group, in the hopes that more people will become future pro-life ambassadors and together hearts and minds will be changed.

Cam does an amazing job of being both relatable and professional. His vast knowledge of the pro-life movement and surrounding issues is displayed very well in his speaking. Cam came to speak to our interns and they came away with some practical knowledge of how to use science to speak about abortion.

On behalf of the Grade 11 class at Mount Cheam Christian School, we would like to thank Cam Cote and his team (Quiana, Brittany and Michael) for coming to our school. Cam’s presentation was engaging and informative. Although the images he shared were horrific, all students recognized that viewing the images was an important element in becoming emotionally attached to the victims for which they would be striving. During the course of the morning, Cam’s presentation was interspersed with blocks of practice time during which the team members worked in small groups with the students to practice the skills necessary for initiating and holding the pro-life conversation. The highlight of the day was going out into the community and observing these skills in action. It was especially rewarding to observe how effective the skills are in building a connection with people and finding a common ground from which to launch the conversation. Despite the cold weather conditions, the positive conversations motivated the students to continue going from door to door. May the presentation and conversations be blessed and be to the benefit of many unborn children.
