The Huron Shores Hospice is set to unveil the latest addition to Geddes Park in Kincardine, called a Wind Phone on Friday, November 3 at 2 p.m.
It is inspired by a Japanese tradition that offers a unique space for grieving individuals to find solace and connect with lost loved ones.
The concept originated in Japan back in 2010 where a garden designer set up the first Wind Phone in his garden as a means to grieve a lost relative.
It was an unconnected rotary phone inside an old-fashioned phone booth.
Its purpose was to relay a person’s thoughts to be carried by the wind as they could not by a regular telephone line.
There are also plans to install a Wind Phone in the gazebo in the Walk of Memories in Tiverton by the end of next week.
