Join us for a candlelight vigil to honour our loved ones lost to drug toxicity, substance use, alcohol use and mental health related struggles. This evening of reflection will bring together families, friends, and community members to remember the people who have lost their lives to these crises. We strive to build community to bring forward and share grief that is all too often hidden.

Program Highlights
• Words of welcome and reflection
• Musical and spoken tributes
• Candlelight moment of remembrance
• Closing message of healing and support

Candles will be provided on site. This is a “show up as you are” event and everyone is welcome to attend this outdoor gathering.
