Honoured to see families creating living tributes through our Backyard Tree Planting Program!.
I planted a very special tree in our backyard dedicated to my son Nathaniel 💜. The beautiful Red Maple was planted APR 24 2025 through Toronto's @LEAF and their Backyard Tree Planting Program. I also had a lovely granite memorial stone made by Toronto's @Stone_Engraving Ontario.
