Commemorative Program
A donation through St. Clair Townships commemorative program is a lasting and rewarding way to honor the memory of a loved one, celebrate a special occasion or recognize an accomplishment. Your donation becomes a special tribute for your occasion, as well as an enduring gift to all users within our public parks. Donations provided through the commemorative program are eligible for a charitable receipt. St. Clair Township offers two types of commemorative features including benches and trees.
Commemorative Benches offer a place for peaceful reflection. The donation amount for a commemorative bench is $5,000.00. The donation covers the costs of the bench, plaque, installation, maintenance, and repair of the bench for a duration of the lifetime of the bench which is estimated at about ten years. Commemorative benches will be installed in pre-approved locations only.
Applications for the current year will close on March 31st annually, Commemorative Bench Program Application Form
Commemorative Trees help enhance our park within the Township of St. Clair. The donation amount for a commemorative tree is $550.00. The donation covers the cost, installation, and maintenance of the tree.
St. Clair Township is part of the Carolinian eco-region. Carolinian trees improve air quality, provide food and habitat for insects and animals, create shade, and look beautiful too.
Locations may be determined based on individual park needs and optimal tree growth. Commemorative trees can be added in most parks throughout St. Clair Township. Plaques cannot be installed with commemorative trees.
St. Clair Township only offers native deciduous trees (50mm caliper) and offers selected species only.
