Tree of Remembrance honours deceased loved ones this holiday season

GUELPH – Hospice Wellington is inviting the community to join its Tree of Remembrance tradition. 

On Dec. 1 Hospice Wellington was joined by representatives sponsors Andra Arnold and Associates and Prime Care Pharmacy at Stone Road Mall as it launched its annual Tree of Remembrance campaign. 

The Tree of Remembrance will be at the mall until Dec. 21, “offering a heartfelt way to honour loved ones who’ve passed,” Hospice Wellington officials state in a press release. 

“You can take some time to reflect on cherished memories  while purchasing an ornament for $12.”  

Participants can also write a memorial tag to put on the holiday tree, or take it home to honour their loved one at home. 

In addition, those wishing to celebrate the holiday season with a financial gift to Hospice Wellington can make a donation online at hospicewellington.akaraisin.com/ui/Tree2025.

 “Your support helps provide compassionate end-of-life care, grief support and comfort services to those in need in Guelph-Wellington,” officials state. 

“We’re so grateful to our presenting sponsor Andra Arnold and Associates, our other wonderful sponsors like Prime Care Pharmacy, and to all who contribute to this annual tradition.

“Let’s create a space of remembrance, care, and compassion together.”
