Remembrance Tree
The Remembrance Tree, honours the lives of loved ones who are no longer with us. The holiday season can be a tender time, as we especially feel the absence of those we’ve lost. You are invited to take part by writing the names of friends and loved ones on paper leaves and placing them on the tree. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Gabriola Library for providing this welcoming space, where both children and adults can come together to remember and reflect.
