Upcoming events.
Ornament Making Event
We invite you to our second annual ornament decorating event – a time for those impacted by pregnancy and infant loss to connect and support one another, create new memories, and express the love for their babies in a creative way.
New unwrapped toys will be collected at this event and donated to Toy Mountain to children in need.
This is a free event. Kindly, RSVP by clicking below to let us know you’ll be attending. Looking forward to seeing you!
Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day
Each year thousands of families across Canada experience pregnancy & infant loss. As we know too well, parents can feel isolated in their grief and the stigma around the death of children prevents society from speaking about the devastating effects on parents and their families.
Say their names. Acknowledge their existence. Light a candle.
We’re here for you.
Wave of Light Ceremony & Retreat (RSVP Required)
Please join us in our annual Wave of Light ceremony. The lovely Alysha - ORE Planning Committee Member & New Dawn Grief Support Founder - has put together another beautiful event to honour our babies.
An evening to light a candle for our babies, spend the evening together in a supportive environment, and some healing crafting activities. Snacks & drinks provided.
*RSVP Required by September 30th, 2024. Room capacity is quite small, so please reach out asap!
Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month
Although we work to bring awareness to this every day, October is marked as Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. This dedicated time provides a safe place for individuals who are grieving a loss and connects individuals going through similar struggles to share their stories and experiences.
