Thank you to all of our 2011 Gala Sponsors!  

The Annual Gala Dinner was established in 2001, to raise money to support the Children and Youth Bereavement Services. To date, these programs have helped over 650 children and youth. Grief crosses all boundaries and statistics indicate that one in every seven children will lose a parent before the age of ten.

To date, over $137,000 has been raised to support our Children/Youth Bereavement Services. 

Thank you!

Memory Tree

Since 1996 Bereaved Families Memory Tree has stood in quiet remembrance of those we have loved and lost. Each white paper ornament is dedicated to the memory of a loved one and each name is entered in the Bereaved Family In Memoriam Book and can be viewed at the Bereavement Centre. The Memory Tree is displayed throughout the month of December at the Cornwall Square and many dedicated individuals volunteer their time to the tree each year. Together we can share our special memories.
