About the event
October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, with the "International Wave of Light” taking place on October 15 at 7:00pm. We invite you to join us in person for this event, or join other families across the world by lighting a candle from home at 7:00pm local time and leaving it burning for at least one hour to remember all babies that have died too soon. The lighting of candles at different time zones will result in a continuous wave of light spanning across the world for a 24-hour period, illuminating the night in love, honour and remembrance of our children. Candles will be provided for those who are joining us in person, or you are welcome to bring your own candle. Multiple candles are available for families that have experienced multiple losses.
We will meet at Delta Garden, which is located on the south side of the Peace Bridge, near Eau Claire Park and the Bow River Pathway off 1st Ave SW and 6th St SW. We will have a table set up with a banner so that attendees know where to meet. Map of Delta Garden location
