Unforeseen circumstances have prompted a major change for the Lady Dunn Health Centre Palliative Care Program's 3rd Annual Memorial Butterfly Release.
Saying they're "very disappointed", organizers explain they were not able to acquire live butterflies after all, and so they're cancelling the live butterfly release portion of the event - that means no live butterfly kits for community members, with ticket sales to be refunded.
Those who still want to memorialize a loved one could have their donation forwarded to the LDHC Foundation.
While a small gathering will still be held for long-term care residents, their families, and staff on Wednesday, it is not open to others and plans are no longer to livestream the event.
