A memorial tree program is a unique way to provide a living tribute in commemoration of a friend or loved one. It can provide a sense of comfort and a site of reflection for the community.
The program will take place at Phillip Thomas Vinet Centennial Park and Rahill Beach.
The social benefits include the harmonization of parks with the surrounding nature, as well as adding character and beauty to parks.
The cultural benefits include providing commemoration of the municipality's past community members, as well as showcasing Red Lake's natural environment in a protected setting.
There are many environmental benefits to this program. Trees filter and remove pollutants, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide. Trees use run-off water that would normally flow into our storm system and waterways. They provide homes, food and protection for birds and mammals. Trees also allow the elimination of monoculture that can devastate parks and forests.
The economic benefit of this program is subscription revenue would create a permanent reserve to ensure tree replacement, as required.
The subscriber will pay as per the tariff of fees. The Municipality creates a reserve with the revenue.
The subscriber receives:
- A vinyl plaque (5"x7") mounted on a 4"x4" PWT post elevated 12" above ground
- The plaque will be replaced if damaged or destroyed a long as subscriber is active in the program
- Each plaque will be inscribed with three (3) lines of note, which shall be approved by the Operations Superintendent
- A guarantee of ten (10) years of tree life. If a tree is not alive within ten (10) years, it will be replaced by the Municipality
- A right of tree replacement with a renewal subscription if the tree dies after ten (10) consecutive years of life
