Barrie Family Hospice launches six‑week grief walking group

Sessions will begin on Thursday, January 15.

Barrie Family Hospice of Elgin is inviting community members who are navigating grief to take part in a new supportive walking group designed to foster connection, reflection, and gentle healing.

The six-week program, called Supportive Steps: A Grief Walking Group, will offer adults a compassionate and welcoming space to share experiences with others who understand the journey of loss. Combining light physical movement with peer support, the group aims to promote emotional well-being through both conversation and the restorative effects of walking.

Sessions will begin on Thursday, January 15, 2026, and run weekly on Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Walks will take place at Family Flowers, located at 44329 Talbot Line in St. Thomas, providing a calm, accessible setting for participants.

Registration is required. Those interested can do so by emailing jenna.parsons@elginhospice.com or calling 519-631-7495, extension 143. More information about hospice programs and services is available at www.elginhospice.com.
