On Sunday, June 7 at 3 pm, the Ottawa community will come together to experience The Butterfly Memorial Event, by BFO-Ottawa, to remember our loved ones. All too often, people are left to grieve alone. At BFO-Ottawa, we believe in coming together as a community to support one another. The event begins with a remembrance ceremony in the non-denominational, Sacred Space inside the Beechwood National Memorial Centre. It features music and inspirational speakers. For those who register in advance, your loved one’s photo or name will be displayed on a large screen. After the ceremony, we move outside to share a symbolic release of live painted lady butterflies. Please Click Here to buy tickets
