The Butterfly Support Network in the Okanagan region provides community and healing for families experiencing infertility, pregnancy loss, childbirth, or infant loss. 

To combat isolation among grieving parents, the organization hosts the annual Okanagan Butterfly Run at Kelowna’s City Park. In addition to local events, the community participates in the International Wave of Light on October 15, a global observance held to honor babies who have died during pregnancy or infancy.
