Meetings & Events
Monthly Meetings
Our meetings are usually held on the third Monday of the month, from 3:00 – 4:30 pm in the Quadra Community Centre, Room 3, September through April. We meet in-person whenever possible and provide a Zoom link to those not able to attend in person. If you are not already on the email list and would like to receive the Zoom link, please request your address be added using the Contact section of this website. Everyone is welcome.
The meetings consist of about a ½ hour for sharing about death, dying and grief, and the next hour for a presentation to learn more about a particular death-related topic, followed by a question and answer period and discussion.

If you are ever unable to speak for yourself, it can give someone the authority to speak on your behalf and helps ensure that those close to you understand what matters most to you.”
