If you are looking for a unique way to remember your loved ones, the Municipality of Trent Lakes Memorial Donation Program offers memorial trees, benches, and picnic tables with a donor recognition plaque installed on or near your donation.
We will work with you to find the perfect location for your generous donation after receiving a completed application. Staff will arrange for the order and installation of the memorial item of your choice. Donations are tax deductible.
Community dedications are a wonderful way to celebrate the life of a loved one or honour a family member. You may also want to acknowledge an individual, service group, organization, or business. You can dedicate a new bench or plant a tree as an individual, a family, or a service group.
