December 10th Candle Lighting Ceremony

The Compassionate Friends is an organization created to support people who have lost a child. One of their events is an annual candle lighting ceremony. If people are interested please contact me davidreay@telus.net and we will either do a common event, or I will forward information so people can have their own private ceremony (or both).

Worldwide Candle Lighting Memorial Service

The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting on the 2nd Sunday in December unites family and friends around the globe in lighting candles for one hour to honor the memories of the sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and grandchildren who left too soon. As candles are lit on December 10th, 2023 at 7:00 pm local time, hundreds of thousands of people commemorate and honor the memory of all children gone too soon.

Now believed to be the largest mass candle lighting on the globe, the annual Worldwide Candle Lighting (WCL), a gift to the bereavement community from The Compassionate Friends, creates a virtual 24-hour wave of light as it moves from time zone to time zone. TCF’s WCL started in the United States in 1997 as a small internet observance and has since swelled in numbers as word has spread throughout the world of remembrance.

Hundreds of formal candle lighting events are held, and thousands of informal candle lightings are conducted in homes, as families gather in quiet remembrance of children who have died and will never be forgotten.

Mobile Dental Hygiene Services

My name is Meghan Mitchell, and I am a dental hygiene practitioner that works in a mobile dental hygiene van. I have been practicing for over 14 years and I also instruct in the Dental Hygiene Program at VIU.

I work in Nanaimo and surrounding area currently, and most of my clientele is on Gabriola. I am hoping to expand to Thetis Island, so if anyone is interested in a dental hygiene appointment please let me know.

I bill directly to insurance and I provide a calm and relaxing atmosphere. I follow the fee guide for the province of dental hygienists, which is a little lower than a dental office.

I have attached my website for pictures and information.

Thank you,
Meghan Mitchell
