The fund is now officially closed apart from ongoing grants covering the building materials.
We have raised over $325,000 to fund the replacement of the Marsh Boardwalk, covering the cost of all materials and interpretive signage. This is a remarkable achievement. All Boardwalk Fund donors will be listed in the Donor Book, located at the Lighthouse Interpretive Centre, and in the kiosk at the Boardwalk parking lot. A new Donor Board is currently being designed, which will recognise all donations of $10 and more.
Individual and corporate sponsors will be recognized for their contributions to rebuilding the Presqu’ile Marsh Boardwalk in a number of ways.
Contributors of $10 to $249 will receive recognition for their donations by placement of the donor and/or company name in our ‘Restoring the Marsh Experience Honour Roll’ binders which will be displayed in the Lighthouse Interpretive Centre and the Nature Centre.
