A funeral procession is more than a line of cars — it’s a journey of love and remembrance. It's important to show respect by slowing down and yielding so the procession can stay together, pulling over or stopping safely to let them pass, and keeping quiet by lowering music and avoiding honking.

A brief pause speaks volumes; your kindness offers comfort to grieving families and honours a life respectfully.

When someone loses a loved one, grand gestures aren't always the most meaningful. It's often the simple, heartfelt ones that bring comfort, like sending a meal when words fail or helping them with errands, housework, or childcare.

The funeral home staff is very saddened to learn about the cancellation of this wonderful event. We donate our limousines every year as courtesy shuttles… we will see everyone in 2026!

Important Announcement – Cancellation of Our 2025 Open House, Aug 30, 2025

We have made the very difficult decision to cancel our annual Open House, scheduled for August 30, 2025.

This decision was made after careful consideration and in close consultation with the Department of Natural Resources. With the province restricting travel and activities in forested areas due to drought conditions and many wildfires burning across Nova Scotia, we believe this is the most responsible choice and is in alignment with Hope for Wildlife’s mission.

Also, the local access trails leading to our property are closed, creating additional road safety concerns. Given these factors, and many others, holding an event of this size would pose unacceptable risks to the community, wildlife, and their habitats that we work so hard to protect.

We know this announcement is disappointing, and we feel that disappointment right alongside you. Our Open House has become a cherished tradition for sharing our work. It’s a special opportunity to connect with our community, celebrate local wildlife, and thank you for your support. We will deeply miss welcoming the thousands of you who attend each year.

There are still many ways to contribute to our work, even if we can’t gather for one of our biggest fundraisers of the year. You can learn more at www.hopeforwildlife.net/support.

If you have questions or concerns, or if you had planned a special trip to attend, please contact us at openhouse@hopeforwildlife.net.

Thank you for your continued support and for standing with us through sunshine, rain, and now through drought as well.
