Supporting Family When A Child Dies – Ottawa, Ontario

Candle Lighting Celebration, 10 Dec, 7-8pm

December 1, 2023 by TCF Ottawa

Fellow Parents,

Please join us for the Candle Lighting Celebration in memory of our children who left us too soon.

This event is held annually on the second Sunday in December. This year’s date is December 10, 2023.

Each year at 7:00 p.m. in every time zone, candles are lit by TCF families in honour of all children who have died. As candles burn down in one time zone, they are lit in the next, creating a 24-hour wave of light that encircles the globe … that their light may always shine.

All parents, families and friends of children who have died from any cause, at any age, from infant to adult, are invited to attend a non-denominational celebration of remembrance.

Please bring a free-standing picture of your child(ren) and arrive by 6:30pm for a prompt 7:00pm start.

Candles provided.

Location

Garden Chapel Nepean, Tubmans

3440 Richmond Road, Nepean

RSVP please

For further information, please contact: (613) 612-4951 or e-mail: tcfottawa

Shine a light … We Need Not Walk Alone.
