Presenting Burnaby parks - our parks donation program
Due to an overwhelming demand and an undersupply of opportunities for sponsorship benches in our Parks system, the Presenting Burnaby Parks Donation Program has been placed on hold until further notice. Our program service and sponsorship rates are under review to ensure the donations are covering the cost of the maintenance of donated equipment, and are in alignment with masterplan initiatives planned for the parks. We are not accepting new donations for sponsored items like benches and picnic tables at this time.
Existing donors
Donors with existing sponsorship plaques can renew their donations at our current rates and maintain the sponsorship when their initial 10-year period lapses—this includes donation benches. If you have a donation item which is more than 10 years old, please contact [email protected] to renew. If the item is more than 10 years old and needs to be replaced or removed, Parks will attempt to contact donors one time by mail. If we cannot establish contact with the donor, the item and sponsorship plaque will be removed.
Recognition
We acknowledge all donations with a certificate of appreciation from the Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission. For larger gifts like park benches, small bronze commemorative plaques are installed by request when feasible.
A tax deductible receipt in the amount of the gift will also be issued.
