The 100 Mile Hospice Palliative Care Society is taking the opportunity to honour and memorialize loved ones in the spirit of BC Bereavement Day at Centennial Park from 6 to 7 p.m. on Aug. 25.
The community is invited to participate in a brief memorial ritual, which includes a welcoming and sharing your loved ones’ name.
Participants will receive a black memorial pin and a bereavement card. Then participants will take a gentle walk to Bridge Creek Falls, where there will be a reading, and sharing of grief names and writing of names on stones, which will be tossed into the water.
