Annual Butterfly Memorial remembers infants, children and youth lost

We stand with and support all families who carry the pain of losing a child, this day and every day. Our annual Butterfly Release is an opportunity to come together, reflect on and remember the lives of infants, children and youth lost too soon. It is presented by CHEO and Roger Neilson House in collaboration with The Compassionate Friends.

This year we gather for a virtual memorial, providing space for families, friends and CHEO staff to come together in both remembrance and celebration of life, regardless of when the loss took place. To all those who are coping with the loss of a child we wish you love, support and healing.
