This week in UNPLUGGED we're shining a light on another fantastic project that BC Parks has launched as a part of their 100th anniversary celebrations. It's called the 100 for 100 Park Bench Challenge and what they're doing is opening up the opportunity for 100 community groups, businesses, individuals and families to come together and sponsor new benches in provincial parks!
Installed on a durable concrete slab, these limited-edition centennial benches have the appearance of wood but are actually made from recycled plastic. They're cedar in colour and designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures and colour fading.
For only $1,500 you can sponsor your very own bench placed in the park of your choice (check THIS MAP for available locations). How cool would that be?
OR how could would it be if a bunch of people chipped in and raised $1,500 on behalf of Vancouver Is Awesome so that we could sponsor a bench in Golden Ears Park with a V.I.A. plaque on it? That's exactly what we aim to do!
Help make it happen! Please consider helping us raise $1500 by making a donation. These benches are installed a few weeks after they've been paid for and are maintained in the park for a full 10 years. With your help we could all be enjoying a V.I.A. park bench on the lake by early spring!
This is what our bench will look like, except with a V.I.A. plaque!
