Bruce Trail Tree Planting Dedication Service

As an expression of sympathy to the families we serve, Smith’s has committed to the planting of memorial trees along the Bruce Trail as a lasting tribute to loved ones.

This year, a tulip tree has been planted in the ‘Smith’s Memorial Grove’ recently established along the Trail in both Burlington and Stoney Creek.  These trees are symbolic of all the trees planted over the past year within this beautiful natural landscape, to honour and celebrate the lives of those we have served.

Every year, a new tree will be planted in each Memorial Grove, to symbolize the ongoing reforestation and preservation of nature along the Bruce Trail in memory of those we have been honoured to serve, and for all those in our community who have lost loved ones.

We are excited to announce that every spring (starting in 2017), we will be hosting a ceremonial dedication of the memorial trees planted in these groves.  Everyone is invited to join us and share in a brief but meaningful service, followed by refreshments and a guided hike along the trail (for those interested).

If you are unable to attend but wish to visit the site at your own leisure, please see the maps below for the exact location of the trees in the Memorial Groves.

One grove is located at City View Park in Burlington (off Kerns Road), and one is located at Paramount Park in Stoney Creek.
