SUMMARY:Eastern Tour of Beechwood Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Sign up here! The eastern half of Beechwood Cemetery is rich with cultural and military history. Participants will visit some of the cemetery’s largest community sections and walk among the headstones of military\, RCMP\, Ottawa Police\, and CSIS veterans. This tour offers visitors the opportunity to learn about the unique features of Beechwood and the stories of lesser-known\, but deeply influential\, individuals who helped shape Canada.

The tour is free of charge\, and is family friendly. The route for the Stroll is a gentle 1.5-2 hour walk and is wheelchair accessible. Please wear good walking shoes\, clothing suitable for the weather\, apply bug spray and bring water if needed.  Please meet your guide at the Pagoda\, it is right near the St. Laurent gate entrance. You can park along the side of road\, so long as another car can pass. It is recommended you enter Beechwood Cemetery from the St. Laurent Gate or follow the yellow line from the Beechwood Ave entrance until you see the pagoda (approx. 5 min drive).  Be sure to come back again for the Western Tour of Beechwood Cemetery!

SUMMARY:The Death Dialogues:   Non-Traditional Losses or Living Losses
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, September 22 at 6:30 p.m. at the Beechwood National Memorial Centre for a thoughtful evening exploring a type of grief that is often misunderstood and rarely discussed: living loss.  Part of Beechwood’s Death Dialogues series\, this conversation continues our commitment to strengthening death and loss literacy in our community. These gatherings create a respectful space where difficult topics surrounding grief\, loss\, and the human experience can be explored openly.  The evening will feature Dina Bell-Laroche\, a Certified Thanatologist\, bereavement educator\, author\, and grief doula whose work focuses on helping individuals and communities better understand the many forms grief can take.  While many people associate grief with death\, loss can also occur in ways that are less visible. Changes in health\, estranged relationships\, identity shifts\, life transitions\, or the gradual loss that accompanies aging and illness can create profound grief\, even though no death has occurred.  During this engaging discussion\, Dina will explore the concept of non-traditional or living losses\, the quiet and often unrecognized forms of grief that people carry. Through practical insights and personal reflection\, she will examine how acknowledging these losses can help individuals move toward understanding\, resilience\, and renewed meaning.  At Beechwood\, these conversations are part of a broader effort to normalize dialogue about grief and to strengthen our ability to support one another through life’s most difficult transitions.  Whether you are navigating change in your own life\, supporting someone through a difficult period\, or simply seeking to better understand the many dimensions of grief\, this Death Dialogue offers a meaningful opportunity to learn and reflect.  Event Details   Tuesday\, September 22\, 2026 6:30 p.m. Beechwood National Memorial Centre 280 Beechwood Avenue\, Ottawa  Join us for an evening that reminds us that grief does not only follow death\, it also accompanies the many changes that shape our lives.
