Rotary Hospice Stratford Perth looks to brighten winter with the Lights of Love Lighting and Remembrance Ceremony.
The memorial event gathers people together outside the hospice on Nov. 21 to dedicate a light and message to loved ones that have passed away.
Marketing and Communications coordinator Pippa Elliott said it’s also when the holiday lights on the hospice grounds are turned on for the first time.
“The symbolism of the light, especially in these darker months, can be very comforting for people grieving in the community.”
Elliot said it’s a meaningful night for a lot of people, adding holidays can be particularly difficult for some.
“This is very meaningful and symbolic for people to gather and see the names of those they’re missing among so many others,” said Elliot.
The event is part of the Lights of Love holiday campaign, which aims to raise funds to support the costs of operating the hospice.
The campaign runs from early November to the end of the year.
Residents can donate here.
The event starts at 7 p.m.
