Garden of Remembrance

The 2025 Garden of Remembrance will take place Wednesday, June 25th at 6:30 pm at Couchiching Beach Park in Orillia. 

In an effort to embrace community connection, this event will be offered as an in-person, intimate memorial event with a virtual component for those unable to attend in person.

The interactive ceremony will include music, poetry, readings and more importantly a time to reflect and be with others who have experienced loss. 

To help our team with the planning process for this year’s ceremony, we are asking the community to RSVP by completing the form below. We hope to see you on Wednesday, June 25th.

    Understanding What You’re Feeling

    Grief is a normal reaction to the loss of a loved one. It can also be a reaction to the loss of relationships, physical ability, opportunities or future hopes and dreams.

    Bereavement is the state of having suffered the loss of a loved one. It is the time after a loss during which grief is experienced and mourning occurs.

    Mourning is the external expression of grief. It includes rituals that mark someone’s death, such as funerals, wakes or memorial services. Mourning is strongly influenced by a person’s spiritual and cultural beliefs and practices.

      Inclusion: Hospice Orillia is committed to creating and maintaining an environment free of discrimination.  All individuals are treated with respect and dignity, and have equal opportunities.

We always provide a positive space to our clients, volunteers, and staff.

      Land Acknowledgement

      We would like to acknowledge that the land which we are gathered on today is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabek Nation; specifically, the Chippewa Tri – Council comprised of the Chippewas of Beausoleil, Rama and Georgina Island First Nations and more recently the Mississaugas of the Credit River First Nation.

      Ontario is covered by 46 treaties and other agreements and is home to many Indigenous Nations from across Turtle Island, including the Inuit and the Métis. These treaties and other agreements, including the One Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, are agreements to peaceably share and care for the land and its resources. Other Indigenous Nations, Europeans, and newcomers were invited into this covenant in the spirit of respect, peace, and friendship.

      Most of us have come here as settlers, immigrants, or newcomers in this generation or generations past.

      We are all Treaty people.  Every day we are mindful of broken covenants, and we strive to make this right. We commit to collaborating based on the foundational assumption that Indigenous Peoples have the power, strength, and competency to develop culturally specific strategies for their communities.  We are dedicated to honouring Indigenous self-determination, history, and culture, and are committed to moving forward in the spirit of reconciliation and respect with all First Nation, Métis and Inuit people.
