National Caregiver Day gives us a chance to recognize the profound impact caregivers have on their families and communities. In Canada, 1 in 4 people provide unpaid care to a family member or friend. Supporting caregivers is a big part of what we do, and today we're thinking about the people who quietly give so much of themselves to support someone in their life. Thank you, caregivers!

Bubbles has an important job at the Children's Grief Centre. He's the namesake of the Ask Bubbles Wonder Wall — a space where kids can pose the hard questions about grief and loss that aren't always easy for them to say out loud.

The Wonder Wall gives kids a space to ask those questions, engage with what other kids have shared, and realize their feelings aren't theirs alone. Grief support can come in many forms, and sometimes all it takes is knowing someone else is asking the same questions.

Rosedale Hospice is now equipped with a fully modernized elevator, allowing patients and families the ease of access they need and deserve. This is all thanks to the transformational gifts provided by the Rotary Club of Calgary at Stampede Park, the Rotary Club of Calgary Centennial and the Rotary Club of Calgary North, that made this project possible.

A special thank you to one of our very dedicated Rosedale volunteers, Geraldine Hutchinson, who spear-headed the incredible fundraising initiative for this project. As a former in-house volunteer, Geraldine knows first hand the consequences of having one of our elevators out of service. She made it her mission to do something about it and we are forever grateful.

On March 5th, we had a great night out at Laser City South Calgary, with 25 attendees vying for laser tag glory. As part of our Family Enjoyment Programming, events like these provide a safe, familiar space where children, teens, and their caregivers can step away from the isolation of grief and simply enjoy being together.

Thank you to everyone who joined in the fun!

The Children's Grief Centre offers a series of sessions for parents and caregivers supporting grieving children and teens. Each of the sessions covers key topics and common concerns parents and caregivers have shared with us. Our hope is to provide parents and caregivers with valuable information, practical tips, and connection with others navigating grief and loss after a death.

Spring sessions available for registration here: https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/caregiver-and-parent-info-sessions-3159489

The Children's Grief Centre held a movie night in February, giving client families an opportunity to hang out, unwind and enjoy a stress-free evening. Disney Pixar's Elio was a great movie to have up on the 'big screen', and with hot dogs, pizza, candy, and popcorn, the night truly felt like a proper theatre experience.

We're always honoured to host events for our clients and create a space for connection.

Meet CreeAnn, one of our Bereavement Telephone Support Program (BTSP) volunteers who has been with us for a year and a half. BTSP Volunteers are trained to have monthly phone conversations with people who are grieving a death due to illness.

When asked about her favourite part of volunteering, CreeAnn says "I have loved every shift! I have enjoyed sharing memories, learning about loved ones, and being a comforting presence."

Thank you, CreeAnn, for dedicating your time to support people in our community and also inspire us with your beautiful reflection: "Volunteering here has taught me not to take life for granted and to live each day with purpose and intent."
