Remember Every Name  honours the people who were buried in the Huronia Regional Centre (HRC) cemetery and others who died at that institution,
and celebrates the successes and resilience of those who survived.

We encourage people to visit the institution cemetery (located at 650 Memorial Ave. in Orillia), to see the beautiful monument commissioned and dedicated by survivors. Hilary Clark Cole’s welded steel tree bursts into life and freedom through Signature Memorials’ high, black granite walls. The empty institution buildings are reflected on one side; crows take flight and flowers bloom, on the other.

We need to raise money to make the monument accessible to everyone  for a walkway from the cemetery to the survivors monument with seating for those who visit.

Funds from the HRC class action settlement were inadequate to complete the work and Orillia City Council turned down our request.

We would like to install two black granite benches to match the materials and workmanship of the monument. Survivors would like to have a dedication etched on the backrests, one with words and the other in braille.

On behalf of the survivors, thank you in advance for your support. Any donation will be gladly received and greatly appreciated!

Donations will be held by the Bracebridge United Church.
