History
| BBereaved
Families of Ontario (BFO) was initiated in 1978 by four bereaved
mothers as a self-help, mutual aid program under the auspices of the
Chaplaincy Department of the Hospital for Sick Children. In July
1984, a grant from the Trillium Foundation enabled the organization
to became a provincial body. Durham Region became an affiliate in
October 1993 "and a strong team of volunteers". Our chapter provides
support services, public awareness, and volunteer training in our
Region.
