mMemorial Bench Program

Testimony and Sample Gifting Form from the City of Penticton BC

The program started in the mid-90’s when we were approached by a citizen to commemorate a bench.

We decided to create the Gifting Program knowing that there was a market interest. Little did we know how much interest!

We have since received about $300,000 in furniture donations, with over 200 benches, about 30 picnic tables and 30 trees – all commemorated with bronze plaques. (we have since suspended the tree program due to some unforeseen problems).

We guarantee the donation for a minimum of 10 years, longer if the bench is in good condition. We are in the process of revamping our program to offer other unique opportunities (besides, nearly every bench in town is already dedicated!). From now on we will likely make all donations good for a ten-year period, after that the donor would have to re-donate to maintain a plaque.
