Donor Recognition Opportunities

In addition to receiving a tax receipt, all donations to the Kinsol Trestle will be recognized for all time in various ways, depending on the donation. Some of the options include having your name added to a commemorative donor display which will be on display at the Kinsol Trestle, as well as being added to the donor wall on the Kinsol.ca website and included in donor recognition advertisements in local news media.
