30th Anniversary

Celebrating 30 Years of Healing, Hope, and Community

For three decades, Seasons Centre for Grieving Children has been a beacon of support for families and children navigating the unimaginable journey of loss. Since 1995, we’ve walked alongside thousands of children and their loved ones—helping them find their way through grief with compassion, understanding, and care.

Over 30 years, Seasons has grown from a small group of dedicated volunteers to a vital community resource offering programs and safe spaces for grieving children and families. Each story of healing, every smile of hope, and every moment of connection reminds us why this work matters.

As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to reflect with us on the impact of 30 years—and to help us continue this essential work for the next generation 

What 30 Years of Hope Means to Us

Over three decades, Seasons Centre for Grieving Children has been a place where hope blossoms amid grief. Here are some of the milestones that mark our journey together:

• Since 1995, we have supported over 12,000 individuals going through the loss of a loved one. 
• Transitioned our support programming from divorce and traumatized children to grieving children as our community showed that is what they needed.
• Purchased our first centre location in 2003 at 38 McDonald Street.
• In 2019, we developed a specialized group for those who lost a loved one to a Substance Use-Related Death, as this was a rising need in our community. 
• Estimated 75,000+ volunteer hours contributed since 1995. 
• Built a community network of trained volunteers and professionals dedicated to childhood grief.

Stories of Hope: How Your Support Changes Lives

Every gift to Seasons Centre transforms a child’s journey through grief. Here are some of the powerful ways donor support has made a difference:

This year, we’re setting our hearts on a powerful mission: To provide critical grief support to 30 more children.

You Can Change a Child’s Life

Each $1,600 donation provides a grieving child with access to life-changing programs—including peer-to-peer support, and a nurturing community—completely free to families. Your gift isn’t just a donation. It’s a lifeline. It’s a warm hug in a storm. It’s hope when a child feels lost.

Be a Light Every Month

Each monthly donation fuels continuous, dependable care. Your recurring gift helps us plan and expand programs, so every grieving child can access healing, no matter when they need us.

Just $30 a Month Helps Us In Providing:

• Safe spaces for a child to attend grief peer support sessions
• Supplies and snacks for the children attending programming
• Support our volunteer training for our Buddy Grief Facilitator Volunteers
• Outreach programs to the community

Why Your Help Matters More Than Ever

Grief can silence a child. It can isolate them. It can shape the course of their entire future. But your generosity gives them their voice back. It shows them they’re not alone. It reminds them that healing is possible. You Can Be the Reason a Child Finds Light in the Darkness.

With your help, we can raise $48,000 to ensure that 30 more children don’t have to carry their pain alone. Every dollar brings comfort, connection, and courage to a child who is hurting.

Together, let’s turn grief into growth—and sorrow into strength.

Will you be their light today?
