Tree of Light  

Bereaved Families of Ontario-Toronto’s 17th Annual

Tree of Light

Ceremony of Remembrance

For 16 years, this memorial event has offered individuals and families in the City of Toronto a touching and visible way to remember their loved ones who have died.
The Tree is decorated with clear lights and doves, as well as the names of those we wish to remember, and is kept on display throughout the month of December and
the first week of January. Light is a symbol of hope in many faiths, cultures and traditions. All are welcome to participate in this special event.

WHERE: Toronto City Hall Rotunda, 100 Queen Street West
WHEN: Thursday, December 3, 2009 – 6:30pm. Ceremony begins at 7pm.
