Huron Hospice is organizing its third annual Candlelight Memorial Walk, inviting families and friends to remember loved ones who have passed away. The commemoration involves donating to light a memorial candle that will line the Taylor Trail by Varna’s Community Centre.
This year’s event will include an opening procession led by the Clinton Legion Pipe Band, followed by reflections on Huron Hospice’s impact in serving families. There will also be a memorial reading of names of people who have passed, each having a candle lit in their honor.
The Memorial Candlelight Walk welcomes sponsors to support the event, with funds raised directed to Huron Hospice’s capital campaign for expanding to a six-bed hospice facility.
Every candle symbolizes a remembered family member or friend. The event is scheduled for Saturday, April 6, at 7 p.m. at the Taylor Trail.
For nearly 30 years, Huron Hospice has offered compassionate care, emotional support, and practical assistance to individuals and families facing life-limiting illnesses. Care can be provided in various settings, including homes, hospitals, long-term care, or the hospice residence. Volunteers provide relief, allowing primary caregivers to take breaks. Support is also extended to caregivers and families grieving the loss of their loved ones.
You can donate online at:?https://www.huronhospice.ca/2024-candlelight-memorial-walk to have a candle lit in remembrance of a loved one. Anyone who would like to sponsor, contact Roger Mather at 905 630-3571.
