LOVING MEMORY CEREMONY 2023

​

This annual memorial event offered our community a way to remember and pay tribute to their loved ones. This special evening included: poem readings, musical inspiration, our popular "Scroll of Memories", special guest speakers, plus more.

Our much-loved Loving Memory Ceremony event took place on Thursday, December 7, 2023 at Unitarian Congregation Mississauga! Our 40 guests listened to impactful poem readings and speeches, watched a heartfelt Scroll of Memories presentation, and enjoyed two moving musical performances. 

 

Thank you to all who attended and supported this event!

​

We raised a gross amount of $1,416.00 from the event, and are so grateful for your support! 

​

The proceeds raised from events such as this one, allow us to continue to provide free grief supports for those in the community who require our services. For every $8,230 we raise, we can run a support group. For every $207, we can train a new volunteer. Every donation we receive of $20 or more is eligible for a charitable tax receipt. 

​

A special thank you to our wonderful staff and volunteers, as well as our Reception Sponsor, Fortis Medical Legal Consultants and in-kind sponsors, Loblaws and Costco!

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We want to acknowledge the land on which we gather, and where the Centre for Grief and Healing (BFO-H/P) operates. This land has been and is still inhabited by many Indigenous Peoples since the last Ice Age which was 13,000 years ago. In particular, we acknowledge the territory of the Anishinabek-Ojibway/Chippewa, Huron-Wendat, and Haudenosaunee peoples. The land that is home to the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit people. We are grateful to now be on the land that is the land of Indigenous Peoples since time began.

​

The land we are presently on is under the stewardship of the Mississaugas of the Credit, who are the signatories of the treaty and holders of the area. We recognize that the land we are on was taken away through colonization, oppression, and expropriation. In the hopes for a better future and building relationships, we recognize, require, and honour what is in the truth and reconciliation report and the calls to action. We acknowledge and are grateful for having the privilege of being where we are, for this land, and for the Indigenous Peoples who have and continue to inhabit this land.

 

This Land Acknowledgment was created in collaboration with Indigenous Elder, Cat Criger.
