✨ Stars for a Dark Night ✨

⭐️ We were honoured to share two memorial ceremonies with our community this week as part of Stars for a Dark Night: an annual space to honour and remember loved ones in advance of the holiday season, which can be a particularly difficult time when you are grieving.

⭐️ Yesterday's ceremony brought community members together at Peterborough Public Library for music, reflections, star-making, and remembering.

⭐️ On Wednesday, a similar ceremony was shared at One City PTBO's Trinity Centre (second last photo) where guests also shared names of loved ones remembered, created stars for those they have lost, and grew the community constellation.

⭐️ We are so grateful to our amazing volunteers and staff who make these events possible with their unique gifts, hard work and deep compassion.

If you’re still interested in adding memorial stars, Stars for a Dark Night continues in the library lobby until the end of December. ✨
