Lights of Life
A Sunshine Coast Hospice holiday tradition since 1992
Lights of Life provides an opportunity for the public to pause and reflect on the memory of their loved one(s) during the busy holiday season.
Throughout November and December, Hospice volunteers host booths in public locations such as Sunnycrest Mall in Gibsons, Gibsons Community Centre, Gumboot Cafe, Sechelt Seniors Activity Centre, Trail Bay Centre and The Madeira Park Legion.
At the tables, we provide ornaments on which passersby can write a loving tribute or simply the names of their loved ones who have died and hang them on the tree. On New Year’s Day, hundreds of ornaments are gathered and brought to a ceremonial public beach bonfire called the Lighting of the Memories.
While visiting the Lights of Life tables, volunteers are there to create a safe space for people to remember and talk about memories of loved one(s), share how they are coping with grief, and offer education about the services we offer.💛💙
