We donated a bench.

What's kind of sucky about Calgary's program (and I'm not sure if Edmonton has the same thing or not) is that you sponsor the bench for terms of ten years for X amount of dollars.

One on hand, the system makes sense to me, cause someone has to pay for it, but at the same time you're paying thousands of dollars to have the bench established, and it just rubs me the wrong way that you have to pay all over again when 'your time is up.'

At least a tree is forever (or at least I hope it is.)
