We would like to thank all of our sponsors for believing in the important services we provide to the Alberni Valley.
This event is made possible through the generous support from local businesses.
Each spring this event brings together members of our community to reminisce about loved ones we have lost. We honour them by releasing a butterfly in their memory. Together we celebrate a beautiful moment when hundreds of Painted Lady butterflies are released into the air.
Purchase a butterfly to support the event, and/or join us for live music, a barbecue and bake sale, and kids' activities!
If your business, organization or service group recognizes the value we provide to the community, consider supporting us and become aligned with our society.
Please contact the Community Office for more information.
