Commemorative and Memorial Benches, Picnic Tables and Trees

The Regional District is implementing a new corporate policy for the increased request for commemorative and memorial benches, picnic tables and trees within the network of 11 regional parks

The new policy will ensure that all requests from residents are handled consistently and the program will charge fees on a cost-recovery basis.
