On Saturday August 23, 2025, you’re invited to gather with fellow pet guardians and their families to honour your beloved and forever cherished lost pet by releasing a butterfly in their name to commemorate Rainbow Bridge Day*.

A butterfly release ceremony is time-honoured, family-friendly, celebration-of-life tradition to memorialize beloved people and pets who have passed. Delivering (returning) native butterflies to their natural habitat is a peaceful, healing, serene, and meaningful way to pay respect to a lost pet’s memory and legacy while connecting with nature and feeling part of something greater…

Kali’s Wish looks forward to connecting with you and helping you celebrate your lost pet! 

*Rainbow Bridge Day is officially recognized annually on August 28th. Since it falls on a Thursday in 2025, we have scheduled this event on the Saturday before to make it more attendance-friendly.

This event is made possible with incredible thanks to the Community Grant program from the Calgary Foundation that enables Kali’s Wish to expand on our Community Outreach initiatives!
