KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops has reopened the Memorial Program and is accepting applications. The initiative allows residents to memorialize a loved one by providing a unique dedication of a plaque in front of a tree, on a picnic table or a bench within th City’s parks system.
“It’s a valuable contribution to the beautification of our city,” said Parks and Civic Facilities Manager, Jeff Putnam. “Our parks see thousands of visitors every year and this unique gift opportunity will be recognized and appreciated by park users for years to come.”
The cost of a new bench will be $4,000, while a picnic table will be $8,000 and a tree $1,500. Residents will also have the choice of existing benches for $2,000 or picnic tables at $4,000.
There will also be a renewal fee of $1,000 every 10 years for the benches and tables, while tree memorializations are for the life of the tree.
