Un immense merci au Club Richelieu De Cornwall pour leur généreux don de 1 000 $ au profit du Camp de deuil pour enfants du BFO-SER qui aura lieu cet automne.

Ce camp spécial offre du soutien en deuil, des occasions de créer des liens et un espace de guérison pour les enfants et les jeunes âgés de 6 à 17 ans qui vivent la perte d’un être cher. Grâce au soutien de notre communauté, ces jeunes peuvent avoir accès à un environnement sécuritaire, bienveillant et compréhensif où ils apprennent qu’ils ne sont pas seuls dans leur parcours de deuil.

Nous sommes profondément reconnaissants de votre générosité et de votre engagement continu envers les familles de notre communauté.

Today we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who served and those who continue to serve our country.

On this day of remembrance, we also hold in our hearts the families who have experienced loss through service. Their grief is woven into the legacy of our nation’s freedom, and their strength reminds us of the enduring power of love and memory.

As we reflect, may we carry forward the stories, the faces, and the sacrifices of all who gave so much.
Lest we forget.
