Commemorative Feature Dedications Program Pause
The City of Vernon wishes to inform residents that the Commemorative Feature Dedication Program is not currently accepting applications. This pause is necessary to conduct a review of the program.
Please check back in Spring 2026 for updates.
For pertinent inquiries, please contact the City of Vernon Parks Planning team by email at parksplanning@vernon.ca or phone 250-550-3634.
Locations and installation considerations:
The approved location of a bench or tree planting site depends on proposed future development within a park, the location of underground utilities, and other site restrictions. Some parks may already be at capacity and therefore a space may not be available. The Parks Planner will review the proposed location with Parks Operations prior to approval.
For 10-year dedications, the term begins once the commemorative feature is installed. If you wish to renew the bench after the 10 years run out, payment must be made for the cost of replacing and maintaining, the bench at the then-prevailing rate.
