Commemorative Benches
Whether you're looking to rest weary feet, or simply pause and reflect on our beautiful watershed, a trailside bench is the perfect oasis.
- A donation of $3,000 will create a personalized tribute bench featuring a customized inscription with a maximum of 25 characters each line (as seen in the photo above).
- Please note that benches will be produced by the GRCA (i.e., we cannot accept pre-built benches). Due to incidences of vandalism, plaques will not be placed on benches.
- In addition to the locations shown on the interactive map, commemorative benches can also be placed at some other properties owned and operated by the GRCA.
- This sponsorship term is over a 10 year period, with opportunity to renew your sponsorship after the term.
Please contact us before completing your donation to discuss available locations. A charitable receipt is provided with your donation.
