 Festival of Lights - Candlelight Ceremony

Candlelight & Angel Tree Ceremony

Friday, November 18 at 7:00 pm

Lion's Harbour Park

Streamed on Facebook Live

In the joy of the season, we take time to remember and honour those who are no longer present with us.

With the poems, prayers, music, the reading of names and with the lighting of three trees:
The Angel Tree ~ for children who are no longer with us
The MADD Tree ~ for lives effected by impaired driving
The Forget-Me-Not Tree ~ for lives touched by Alzheimer's Disease
We take time to reflect and remember.
These three trees will remain lighted throughout the season keeping a silent vigil.
