The Town of Parry Sound is proud to offer many beautiful parks and the scenic Rotary & Algonquin Regiment Waterfront Trail.

Honouring the memory of a loved one with a memorial bench or tree is a meaningful way to celebrate their life in a space that brings peace and joy to others.

Town staff will work with you to choose a thoughtful location and will handle all the details to ensure the process is simple and respectful.

For questions or assistance, please contact the Manager of Parks & Recreation directly. We're here to help.

In 2019, the Ontario Trillium Foundation approved a grant for $43,100 to support the animation and preservation of local WWII stories.   The project, a joint partnership between the Rotary Club of Parry Sound and the Town of Parry Sound, was completed between 2019 and 2020.  Thanks to the funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and the dedication of project partners and emerging filmmakers, the contributions and sacrifices of our local WWII veterans will be remembered for generations to come.
