SUMMARY:Trees of Light
DESCRIPTION:Every December\, we gather for our annual Trees of Light Ceremony — a warm and magical evening that brings our community together to remember and honour those we have lost.  This year\, we’re thrilled to partner with the Centre for Grief and Healing (BFO–Halton Peel) to make this cherished tradition even more meaningful and accessible to our broader grief community. \nThe evening will be filled with performances of poetry and music\, creating a space to reflect\, connect\, and commemorate the lives of our loved ones. We will conclude with the lighting of the trees\, a highlight of the ceremony\, followed by light refreshments and the opportunity to connect with each other. \nOnce again\, we are offering personalized silver tags with the name of your loved one for $35 each or $100 for three\, and gold tags for $100 each. Tag sales close on Monday\, December 1 at 12 PM\, limited blank tags will be available at the event and can be personalized on site (hand written- not printed). Each tag purchased will be placed on the trees at City Hall and remain there throughout the display into the new year (January 5th). You’ll also receive a second tag to take home as a keepsake. Any unclaimed tags will be mailed out after the event (or once the Canada Post strike is resolved). We want everyone to feel welcome at Trees of Light. If cost is a barrier\, please don’t hesitate to contact us at jsmart@bfotoronto.ca—we’re committed to making sure everyone can participate. \nClick here to register and/or order tags. If you prefer to order your tags by form or over the phone\, please call BFO-Toronto at (416) 440-0290. \nA heartfelt thank you to our presenting sponsor\, Scotia Wealth Management – The Farwell Group\, for their continued support\, and to Waratah Capital Advisors\, our Silver Sponsors\, for helping make this special event possible year after year\, Dignity Memorial as our annual print sponsor\, Mount Pleasant Group for sponsorship of our Hot Chocolate Station.
