Memorial Program
The Town of Caledon’s Memorial Program gives you an opportunity to adopt a bench or plant a tree in memory of a loved one. The gift of a bench or tree is a lasting tribute that benefits the community by enhancing your community’s parks and open space areas.
Town staff will work with you to select a location that meets your needs as well as the Town’s criteria for the program. The Town will be accepting applications for Memorials January through April for a September installation. Once the bench or tree is installed, your memorial will be cared for by town staff.
