Each year Hospice Orillia hosts its annual Candles of Remembrance Ceremony where community members gather to honour those who are no longer with us.

The 2024 Candles of Remembrance Ceremony will take place on Thursday, November 28th, 2024 at Creative Nomad Studios. This year in addition to our gathering in person, we will also be providing the community with the opportunity to add their loved ones’ photo and a message on our memorial wall (you do not need to be attending the ceremony in person to utilize our Memorial Wall). Please note the memorial submissions will open October 1st.

2024 Candles of Remembrance Program

Please use the button below to submit your loved ones names, photos and sentiments to the Virtual Memorial Wall. Attendance at the in-person Candles of Remembrance Ceremony is not required to include your loved one on the Memorial Wall. The next update to the Wall will be on November 27th.

Of all the special gifts in life
however great or small,
to have you as our Nanny
was the greatest gift of all.
May the winds of love blow softly
and whisper in your ear
“We love and miss you Nanny
and wish that you were here.”
Deep in our hearts, your life is kept to love and cherish, not forget.
No more tomorrows we can share but yesterdays are always there.
A silent thought, a shed tear
keeps your memory ever near
in our hearts forever.
