Strathcona Centennial Legacy Fund

It is customary on anniversaries, birthdays and special occassions to offer gifts. A celebrant as loved as Strathcona Park deserves rich rewards. Strathcona has given so much in its diversity, resources and the experiences it provides. The one-hundredth anniversary of the park is the perfect time to acknowledge its value to British Columbia by caring and investing in Strathcona. The Strathcona Centennial Legacy Fund aims to build secure financial sources for enhanced stewardship, capital infrastructure projects, land acquisitions and environmental rehabilitation for Strathcona Park. Examples of projects the fund aims to contribute toward.

Acquisitions

It was foresight that led Sir Richard McBride to set aside the land for Strathcona Park in 1910. Today we have a much better understanding of the park's ecosystems. At the same time development surrounding the park has vastly increased. Some areas yet-to-be included in the park will become important additions to Strathcona's integrity. Find out how to make a donation of land or cash to contribute.
