Soaring Spirits Canada is a registered charity that connects widowed people with each other to build resilience in grief through an ongoing peer support community and research-based programming.

Soaring Spirits Canada supports people across the full spectrum of the widowed experience. We aim to help widowed people build resilience and re-engage fully in life after loss. We achieve this through direct service to widowed people. We provide in-person and on-demand, evidence-based programming to help widowed individuals build resilience.
