(Bereaved Families of Ontario York Region)
"WHERE HOPE & HEALING BEGINS....
AND LOVING MEMORIES KEEP US CONNECTED FOREVER!"
Charity Registration Number: 865703318RR0001


Sign Up for Peer Group Supports
Note that registration for each weekly group through our website is required.
Registration opens weekly on each Friday at 10am.
Everyone in the group including the facilitators has experienced the loss of a loved one; you are not alone.
It's important to remember that there is no "right" way to grieve, and
everyone's process is valid and unique.
