Granite bench legacy program

With a minimum donation of $6000 trail supporters have the opportunity to install a magnificent granite bench (crafted from rock local to the area) at a mutually agreed upon location along one of the SWTA’s trails.

A commemorative bench is a great way to support the trail. The benches come with a commemorative inscription plaque with the wording chosen by the purchaser. To date, over 27 of these benches have been sold along sections of the South Whiteshell Trail.

Site selection for new benches is quite straight forward but the locations need to be accessible from the trail. We work closely with our bench purchasers and Parks Branch to select sites that are suitable.

If you are interested in acquiring a bench, or for more information please contact one of our Bench Committee SWTA board members...
