The Town of Amherstburg, Ontario, opened applications for its 2026 Commemorative Bench and Tree Program on March 9, 2026. This initiative allows residents to purchase a bench or a tree to honour a loved one in a public space.

The program helps improve the look of local parks and green spaces while offering a way for families to create a lasting memorial. These installations are handled by the town to ensure they fit the community’s needs and planning goals.

Residents who want to take part in the 2026 season have until June 30, 2026, to submit their applications. Once the deadline passes, the town’s parks and recreation staff will manage the final placement and installation of the items.
