May 17, 2022 - Temporary Program Suspension

The Memorial Picnic Table, Bench, and Tree Program is temporarily suspended due to supply issues. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Updated information on the program's return and supply availability will be posted here when available.


Memorial Picnic Table, Bench, and Tree Program

Memorialize a loved one by donating to have a tree planted or picnic table or bench installed. 

  • Picnic tables are made of stone aggregate materials.
  • Benches are made of recycled plastics.
  • Donors may choose a tree from a list of approved species (final decision subject to City approval).

The City will work with donors to arrange specifics like suitable locations, site visits, and plaque inscriptions (where appropriate).

Installation and planting times will vary depending on staff availability and weather conditions.


Sales and Tax Receipts

Please note the name on the tax receipt issued at the end of the year MUST match whoever paid for the donation (verification required). Upon payment, you will need to submit a tax form to receive a receipt.


Process

Donors will need to submit an online application. The City will be in touch within two weeks to schedule a meeting to review the application and discuss the process in detail. Depending on the type of donation, a follow-up meeting may be necessary to determine:

  • Locations
  • Plaque details and wording
  • Planting/installation schedules

Please indicate on the application form if a tax receipt is needed. The City will issue only one receipt per whole donation.
