The Compassionate Friends

Supporting Family When A Child Dies – Ottawa, Ontario

The Worldwide Candle Lighting Celebration

The Worldwide Candle Lighting Celebration, in memory of children who left us too soon, is held annually on the second Sunday in December.

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.

Please note that due to COVID considerations the 2021 Candle Lighting Celebration has been cancelled. We encourage all bereaved parents to light a candle of remembrance for your child on Sunday Dec. 12, 2021, at 7:00 pm.

Shine a light … We Need Not Walk Alone.
