Supporting Family When A Child Dies – Ottawa, Ontario

Our 2025 Candle Lighting Celebration

January 6, 2026 by TCF Ottawa

Hello everybody;

Our Candle Lighting Celebration was very well attended. The Celebration took place at Saint Augustine Church, Baseline at Merivale Road, where it had been held for several years before the pandemic.

The Candle Lighting itself was lovely and comments offered by the 60 or so attendees reflected this. Many stayed afterward for light refreshments and conversation.

Thanks again to Terry for putting it all together and the wonderful baked treats.

Should you choose to contribute by being a facilitator for our Zoom or in-person meetings, please let me know. The time commitment is about three evenings per year and training is provided. The Ottawa chapter is one of more than 40 in Canada and over 1,000 in the world.

Many thanks,

Doug
