Due to inclement weather the 2015 Walk of Remembrance and Evening of Remembrance was cancelled. However, the City of Santa Clarita has rescheduled the events to take place Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2015.
Local residents are invited to attend the Walk of Remembrance to promote safe driving and show support for families who lost loved ones in traffic-related incidents. The community walk will be held at 6:45 p.m. on Wednesday, October 14, prior to the tenth anniversary of the City’s annual Youth Grove Evening of Remembrance at Central Park.
The Walk of Remembrance will begin at 6:45 p.m., followed by the Evening of Remembrance ceremony at 7:15 p.m. Both events will be held at the Youth Grove at Central Park, located at 27150 Bouquet Canyon Road.
The Youth Grove at Central Park is now home to 93 individual pillars, each bearing a plaque with the name of a young life lost to a traffic-related incident. The pillars, which mimic cut tree stumps to symbolize young lives cut short on the road, surround a central monument urging the community to “Know More” about safe driving habits and pledge that “No More” young lives will be lost behind the wheel.
Each year, the City of Santa Clarita and the Blue Ribbon Task Force host the Evening of Remembrance to help local families honor youth ages 24 and younger who lost their lives in traffic related incidents. For more information on the Youth Grove and the inaugural Walk of Remembrance, contact the City’s Community Services Division at (661) 250-3727 or visit Santa-Clarita.com/BlueRibbon.
