A Place to Speak from the Heart
At Elk Valley & Area Hospice, we understand that grief doesn’t follow a schedule — and that sometimes, healing begins with simply saying the words we didn’t get to say. Our Wind Phones offer a quiet, reflective space where anyone can pick up the receiver and speak to those they’ve lost. There’s no connection, no dial tone — just a symbolic line between the heart and the memories that live on.
Whether you’re a family member, friend, or someone just needing a moment to connect, our wind phones are open to all who seek comfort.
We invite you to visit, connect, and speak freely. Let the wind carry your words.
Where to Find Them:
Elkford – Boivin Peace Park close to the creek on your left hand side after the first grove of trees.
Sparwood – Lions Park on the southern end of the paved walking/skating loop
Fernie – Annex Park in the grove of trees near the car park to the duck pond

Elk Valley & Area Hospice is incredibly grateful to the Columbia Basin Trust – ReDi Grant program (in partnership with the Regional District of East Kootenay) and the Steller Vista Credit Union – StellerImpact Grant program for funding the construction and installation of the Wind Phones.
