You're welcome to join us this Wednesday May 25 to remember our friend and sister, Bonnie.
Visitation: 11am-1pm
Service: 1pm

A feast will be held in her honour at Sanctuary from 3-4pm. Covid safety precautions will be observed.
Our second loss is Bonnie. She was taken off life support on Saturday. Bonnie is a long time community member who has been coming to Thursday nights as an OAHAS outreach worker for the last decade or so. Memorial details are still being finalized.
We are sad to let you know of two recent deaths in our community.
The first is AJ, who passed away on May 6. A visitation and memorial took place this afternoon at Rosar Morrision. Obituary: https://t.co/E0cdXZekyD
There was a fire related to a mental health crisis in the Sanctuary/George Hislop encampment tonight. No injuries, thankfully. Fire personnel, including captains, on the scene were tremendous and gracious. Staff on scene working with those impacted to provide supports they need.
hey all - if you missed our Journeying Together memorial evening a couple weeks ago, or if you want to spend more time with the photos and written memories - itโs up online now: https://t.co/IW9l7eKkiS
All the love.
our community is full of vibrant artists. Sarah is a wordsmith and poet and this is one of her poems that she has agreed to share. Enjoy!
"POETRY IS..."
Poetry is waiting all night
for your Sun to rise
Poetry is wasting your time
fooling yourself with lies... [1/]
Poetry is the blanket
that hugs you when you're cold
You start to sweat
Now your blanket is wet
Poetry can be so cold
Poetry is a blanket
that is fuzzy on one side
Poetry can be razor sharp
Can a blanket skin you alive?
