OASIS WINDPHONE UNVEILING
July 15, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
The Town of Newmarket is proud to announce the official unveiling of a Wind Phone that will be installed along the Tom Taylor Trail in partnership with Oasis: A Centre for Bereavement and Healing. This joint initiative aims to provide open access to a unique tool for individuals coping with grief and loss in the form of an unconnected Wind Phone.
This concept, which originated in Japan, helps those who are grieving find comfort by talking through an unconnected phone that carries messages in the wind and brings awareness to the importance of open dialogue about grief and loss. The Wind Phone stands as a symbol of resilience, offering a serene space for reflection, remembrance, and healing. The stunning box housing the recycled rotary telephone has been expertly crafted by volunteers Vern Cunningham and Brian North.
