Rest assured! Leaving a donation in your will makes a meaningful difference while reducing your #EstateTaxes. Whether you donate cash, land or financial assets, make sure your estate ends up where you want it: supporting loved ones & causes you care about. https://t.co/7Aop1XY6Kg

If 2026 is your year of reduced emissions, we've got you! We calculate your footprint & plant local, native trees to offset it naturally. As your trees grow, they'll also provide habitat, shade & flood management as part of a thriving forest. Get started: https://t.co/hIrOX9CICA

DYK: Donating stocks, bonds or mutual funds directly to your favourite charity is financially savvy, since you avoid capital gains taxes AND receive a tax receipt for the full closing value. You can even carry over deductions for 5 years! Learn more: https://t.co/RNyfHVrS1y

Updating your will in 2026? Consider a charitable bequest such as a percentage or dollar amount from your estate, or even natural lands to be protected. These gifts can offset estate taxes while leaving an invaluable legacy for the future. Details: https://t.co/7Aop1XY6Kg

We don't mark individual Memorial Trees with nameplates or locations, but you can visit our Memorial Forest at Baxter Conservation Area to walk the nature trails, sit among the trees & reflect in the peaceful surroundings of this living tribute. New trees are planted each year.
