***The Memory Tree at St. Vital Centre!***
Open during mall hours now until December 23

The Memory Tree, started in 1987, is a special place to help ease the pain of grief during the holiday season.

The holiday season is traditionally a time of joy for most. But, for those grieving, it can inspire feelings of loss, loneliness and social isolation. Many grieving people feel out of step with the world around them, yet are reluctant to admit their pain. The Memory Tree provides a way to acknowledge and remember people who have died.

Come visit us at St. Vital Centre in front of Hudson’s Bay, share your memories with a volunteer, hang a card on the Tree and honour someone special.

If you aren’t able to visit us in person, your are welcome to send your message to us online or print and mail a card and we will hang a card on your behalf.

Every card submitted is kept to bless and burn at the
Light the Memories Ceremony in 2026.

Please consider making a donation to the Memory Tree. All proceeds support programs and services to the dying and bereaved in Manitoba.
