Evergreen Hospice hosts annual memorial event with new butterfly ceremony

Evergreen Hospice invites the community to participate in the Pass the Care Forward Walk and Butterfly Release on June 22, beginning at 10 a.m. from Amica Unionville.

This heartfelt annual event brings families and friends together to walk in memory of loved ones, reflecting on the lasting impact of their lives.

New this year, the event features a Butterfly Release Ceremony at 11:30 a.m., a moving tribute symbolizing hope, remembrance, and renewal. Butterflies are available for purchase in advance for $25, and donations to support Evergreen Hospice’s vital programs are greatly appreciated.

“We invite everyone to join us in honouring their loved ones, and we welcome donations to support Evergreen Hospice’s compassionate care programs,” said Zalak Padhiyar, Donor Relations Lead. The links are as follows: Join the walk and Release a Butterfly.

Following the walk and ceremony, participants are welcome to enjoy a complimentary lunch provided by Amica Unionville.

The event is presented by Amica Unionville, with Beechwood Cemetery as a presenting sponsor—both long-time champions of Evergreen Hospice’s mission to provide compassionate end-of-life care.

Join the walk in honouring your loved ones and supporting hospice care in our community.
