Help Close Canada’s Grief Literacy Gap
Many people find it awkward to talk about death, loss, or grief. Grief is often misunderstood – by those who are experiencing it and by those trying to help.

Everyone will face loss at some point, but few of us are prepared for how long it can last, how deep it can feel, or how it changes our lives and the lives of the people we love.

When personal connection matters most, many who are grieving feel alone, misunderstood, and unsupported. Even well-meaning friends and family often struggle to provide comfort or guidance in the ways that are most helpful.

On National Grief and Bereavement Day, support grief literacy in Canada.

Fort Nelson says farewell to long time care giver...

On 7 Oct 2025, Fort Nelson residents lined the streets to bid farewell to Dr. & Mrs. Kenyon after the couple's contributions to the community, spanning 7 decades...

Anthony Kenyon, born and raised in England, graduated in medicine at Cambridge University (1958 and married in 1959 after finishing his internship. He then worked for three years in hospitals in Central Africa and his wife worked in the Central African Mail when they were not in small bush stations. He completed his surgical training in the UK and Canada intending to return to Africa.

In 1966 he arrived in Fort Nelson with his wife and three-year-old daughter to take on a four-month locum in the area. The resident physician, Dr. Damian Metten, offered a partnership in the clinic, whereupon his four months of locum stretched to more than forty years of practice.

Dr. Anthony Kenyon provided first-rate medical services to Fort Nelson. Many residents were cared for by him as infants and spent the majority of their lives under his care. Dr Kenyon helped establish the first Emergency Medical Response team in the region, increasing remote survival rates. Through scholarships, instruction and residency training Dr. Kenyon worked to develop and stabilize the northern medical system. He was officially recognized by The B.C. Achievement Foundation and is the recipient of many other prestigious awards including the Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee Medal (2002).
