The Dundas County Hospice’s annual Memorial Tree Lighting in conjunction with Giving Tuesday is coming up on December 3rd at 6:30pm. “We welcome those in the community who want to remember someone they’ve lost to join us in a special ceremony,” said Jen Pretty, the Hospice’s Program / Volunteer Coordinator. “We take donations and make beautiful ornaments for everyone to take home with them, and it’s really just a special way we can come together as a community in grief. Dundas County Hospice offers several Greif and Bereavement services year-round from volunteer visitors to grief counselling as well as monthly support groups and all our services are free to residents of North and South Dundas.”
Giving Tuesday is the world’s largest generosity movement, a day when Canadians are encouraged to give back to the charities and non-profit organizations that matter to them most. This event takes place around the world. Each year, it follows Cyber Monday, making it December 3rd this year.
