Commemorative Benches

Benches are an important park amenity in City of Yellowknife parks. They provide resting and viewing areas for residents and visitors to sit, relax and enjoy the beauty of the Yellowknife Parks and Trail System.

The Commemorative Bench Program, administered by Community Services, allows you to participate in a very special way by adding a bench in a City-owned park. For a reasonable fee, you may donate a standardized bench to be installed in eligible City parkland and maintained by the City.

A commemorative bench may be donated in memory of a loved one or to honour a person, group or special occasion.

The bench and plaque will be installed in an appropriate site, chosen by the Manager of Facilities with input from the donor welcomed.

Donate a Commemorative Bench

Requests for commemorative benches are accepted throughout the year, and benches are installed as climate conditions permit. Costing includes the bench, a plaque and installation. Benches will typically sit on a concrete pad base. 

  • Standard Commemorative Bench – with plaque $1,200.00.  An additional $1,200.00 if a concrete pad is required based on the location.
Donate to Support Benches Throughout Yellowknife

In addition to our Commemorative Bench Program, cash donations (tax deductible) are accepted to help defray the costs of installing and maintaining benches throughout the city. Please feel free to contribute whatever you feel is appropriate.  Cheques should be made payable to the City of Yellowknife and clearly marked, Park Benches.

Further information can be obtained by calling Community Services at (867)-920-5648 or emailing admin@yellowknife.ca.
