The annual Butterfly Release takes place on the 3rd Saturday in June near the summer solstice. The event was started by TCF Ottawa in 2002 and in recent years has been adopted by CHEO as part of their outreach program.
We invite you to join us for this brief but very moving memorial to those children who have left us too soon.
