The City of Windsor Receives 650 Trees

The Ontario Association of Cemetery and Funeral Professionals (OACFP), has a lovely tradition of giving back to communities where their annual conferences are held. Typically, this is done by beautifying local green spaces for the city and its future generations.  They continued this practice this year by partnering with Trees for Life and the City of Windsor, the 2024 conference host city.  

On October 7, the three organizations announced that 650 trees will be planted at Elizabeth Kishkon and Malden Parks in Windsor to establish mini forests in each location.  The City plans to engage local schools with educational opportunities and the City will maintain and monitor the trees until they are established.  This marks a new partnership with Trees for Life and the City of Windsor, and the third year of a partnership between Trees for Life and the OACFP.

A ceremonial tree was installed as the first of the 650 trees planted through this new partnership, and as many as possible will be planted this fall and the remainder in the spring of 2025 .
