2026-06-08 08:30 - 16:30
Pregnancy and Infant Loss (PAIL) Network In Person Compassionate Care Workshop

This In Person Compassionate Care Workshop is hosted by Bluewater Health in Sarnia, ON.
Priority registration is currently open to staff at Bluewater Health. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates on if registration opens to other health and support professionals in the community, or check back here in mid-April. Please contact paileducation@sunnybrook.ca if you are interested in attending or hosting a workshop at your hospital or organization.
This educational session covers many topics, including; attachment, statistics, grief, loss experience (miscarriage, stillbirth, infant death, loss of a multiple), memory making, what to say/what not to say, pregnancy after loss, and caring for the caregiver. We also invite a panel of family members to answer questions about their lived experience with early pregnancy loss, and what it means to receive compassionate care. Participants leave with ideas for providing compassionate supports and resources, as well as practical skills, tools, and techniques to provide skilled care to grieving parents and families.

Walk to Remember
2026-06-07 10:00 - 12:30
This Spring, PAIL Network invites you, your family, and friends to join us for a beautiful commemorative event in honour of our babies called “A Walk to Remember”.

Local PAIL Network Volunteers will host events across Ontario on Sunday June 7th, 2026 from 10 am – 12:30 pm (unless otherwise stated). Families will gather between 10 am – 10:30 am at a meeting spot from which the walk will begin and end. The 3-5 km walk will start at 10:30 am and will take approximately one hour. Following the walk, the community is welcome to stay for an informal gathering to honour our babies together.

Details of the walk location, including the address and meet up spots will be shared with registrants by email closer to the date. On the day of the event, registrants will meet a PAIL Network Volunteer on site to pick up their commemorative Walk to Remember flag (one per household) and stickers for everyone to personalize or write the names of the babies you are walking in honour of. (If there is not a Walk in your community, or you would prefer to walk alone or with close family and friends, there will an option to select “No location. I am walking in my own community”).

💜 *Registration has closed* 💜

2027 Walk to Remember
Save the Date for Sunday, June 6!
