Annual Memorial Butterfly Release
Our Memorial Butterfly Release ceremony is hosted for loved ones of residents who journey through Red Deer Hospice the previous year. The event takes place in the Memorial Garden across the street from Hospice. It is a tranquil setting to remember our loved ones, as well as a beautiful first home for the painted lady butterflies.The release of butterflies is a healing experience that can comfort family and friends suffering from a loss.
Please note, only loved ones of residents who passed through Hospice in the previous year are invited to the Butterfly Release. (For example, if your loved one passed away in 2019 then you would be invited to the 2020 event.)
On Saturday, June 27, 2020, Red Deer Hospice Society will host an 'at home' version of our annual Memorial Butterfly Release. This year we will host the ceremony virtually and offer curbside butterfly pick up, allowing you to find a meaning setting for you to release your butterfly and to remember your loved one. All invitations have been mailed out along with order forms to be returned by May 22, 2020. You will receive communication regarding pick up instructions closer to the date.
Please note that we are also running a Public Fundraiser Live Butterfly Release, this is unrelated to your special event.
