A number of South Etobicoke agencies have come together to celebrate the lives of loved ones lost due to COVID-19 in our community.

“We have navigated quite a year, one that has robbed us of many things but most dearly our loved ones,” according to Rev. Jacqueline Daley, of St. Margaret, New Toronto, on Sixth Street.

“We are coming together to remember and celebrate the lives of those who have passed away in our families, at our workplaces and other circles,” she said.

The community is invited to a gathering and remembrance installation to honour those who have passed. It will take place on October 23, at St. Margaret, New Toronto, from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Daley said attendees will receive a ribbon to write the person’s name to add to the installation.

Should organizers not be able to hold the gathering in person due to weather or health restrictions, a virtual celebration will be held on the same day and time.

If you have any questions, would like to RSVP and have your loved one’s name your loved one’s name read please send their name to operations@lakeshorearts.ca
