In memory
You can donate a tree or bench in memory of a loved one.
We’ll help you select a species of tree and a location for the tree to be planted. Trees are only planted in the spring and fall, weather permitting.
A standard tree (70 millimetres in diameter) is $1,325.68.
An upgraded tree (100 millimetres in diameter) is $2,944.67.
To start the process, call 311 (905-615-4311 outside City limits).
You can donate a standard bench for $951.53.
You also have the option of donating an upgraded bench for $3,804.97.
We’ll work with you to find the best location for your park bench, depending on the type you select.
If you’re donating on behalf of a group, we can provide individual donation receipts for each contribution over $20. You’ll need to provide the names and amounts of each contributor. If you don’t provide additional names, only one donation receipt will be issued.

If you’ve recently donated a tree or bench, you have the option to purchase a commemorative plaque for $316.98.
