Olds College’s Tribute Bench Program gives you an opportunity to adopt a bench in memory of a loved one, to dedicate a bench to a friend or family member, or to commemorate a special event. The Tribute Bench Program is immersed within our on-campus green spaces and Botanic Gardens that will commemorate a moment and enhance the campus and community for everyone. With your generous contribution of $2,500: a custom plaque will be inscribed with wording to commemorate your moment.
Personalizing a paving stone within Olds College’s “Walkway up Celebration Hill” will not only reflect your own Olds College pride and support, but it can also become a memorable gift and personal keepsake. Having a personalized paving stone installed in the Olds College Botanic Gardens is a unique way to honour a friend, family member, mentor or other loved one. You can also use a personalized paving stone to mark a wedding, graduation, new arrival, memorial or other important life events.
Paving stones may be purchased at any time throughout the year; however they will be installed twice a year — once in summer and once in early fall. With your generous contribution of $750: your name, company name or the name of someone you would like to honour will be engraved on a paving stone and permanently placed in the “Walkway up Celebration Hill”.
