Every year many residents of the Fraser Valley grieve the death of a loved one. Abbotsford Hospice & Grief Support Society seeks to make the final journey meaningful and respectful for all people in care and their families. To honor this journey, as well as recognize and celebrate the lives that have passed, AHGSS has held the Memorial Butterfly Release annually since 2016. This is for those who wish to remember a loved one as well as those who are celebrating life.
