We had a great morning at the Ottawa Board of Trade Mayor’s Breakfast yesterday, featuring Prime Minister Mark Carney. With over 1,100 people from across Ottawa’s business community, it was an energizing conversation about the future of our city.

Today is , a reminder that generosity comes in many forms—time, kindness, resources, or even simply sharing a message. If you’re able, consider supporting a cause close to your heart. Every act of giving matters, together, we can make a difference. 🤝

⭐️📸
Our Funeral Director/Embalmer, Emily McDonald, recently participated in Ottawa Technical Secondary School’s Human Library, a twice-yearly event where students “borrow” people instead of books to learn about unique careers and life experiences.
This year, students specifically requested someone from our profession, and Emily shared the parts of her life and career that make her journey so unique — sparking curiosity and meaningful conversation.
We’re so proud of Emily for representing our industry with compassion, professionalism, and openness. Moments like these show just how important it is to educate, connect, and inspire the next generation. ✨

We were delighted to present the generous donations from our 100th Anniversary Organ Recital Series to Ottawa Inner City Ministries, OrKidstra, Centre 507, and Hospice Care Ottawa. 🎶

September’s month-long recitals celebrated 100 years of musical tradition while supporting organizations that make a difference in our community. Attendees described the concerts as moving, joyful, and truly unforgettable.

Our President, Sharon McGarry, personally presented donation cheques to each organization: Gerry Potter (Ottawa Innercity Ministries), Rebecca Russell (OrKidstra), Richard LeBlanc (Centre 507), and Taylor Mueller (Hospice Care Ottawa).

Thank you to everyone who attended — your support helps music and community go hand in hand!
