Thank you for keeping the magic of parks alive!

Thank you for considering donating your car or boat. We make used car and boat donations, car removal, car recycling, or simply scrapping a car an easy process for you. We are partnered with ‘Donate A Car Canada’.

Donate a Car Canada accepts Vehicle Donations for the BC Parks Foundation. Free towing is provided in most areas across Canada, or you can drop off your vehicle to maximize your donation. When you donate your car, truck, RV, boat, or motorcycle to the BC Parks Foundation through Donate A Car Canada, it will either be recycled or sold at auction (depending on its condition, age and location). Donate a Car Canada will look after all the details to make it easy for the BC Parks Foundation to benefit. After your vehicle donation is complete, Canada Helps will send you a tax receipt and remit proceeds to BC Parks Foundation to be put to good use. Please click here to donate a vehicle.
Thank you for considering donating services. Services can be very useful in getting projects done (engineering, equipment work, design, accounting, programming, etc.). Please get in touch or let us know more by filling in the form below. We’ll follow up with a call.

Note that Canada Revenue Agency doesn’t allow charitable gift receipts for services.

Including a charitable gift to the BC Parks Foundation in your will is a great way to leave a legacy for generations to come.

(i) select from publicly traded securities that I own, if any, at the date of my death, securities (the “Gift Shares”) that collectively have a total fair market value as of the date of my death of not more than $____ (the “Donation Amount”) and transfer the Gift Shares to the BC Parks Foundation;

(ii) if the value of the Gift Shares is less than the Donation Amount, pay the BC Parks Foundation an amount equal to the difference between the Donation Amount and the value of the Gift Shares; and

DESOLATION SOUND PROVINCIAL PARK 

MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADES


The incredible beauty and recreational opportunities of Desolation Sound draw tens of thousands of visitors like you every year. Isn’t it a wonderful gift to experience this majestic park? To feel relaxed and connected, with ourselves, with loved ones, with nature. To have lasting memories. To pay little or nothing, yet receive so much.

While anchoring in the Park is a free service, increased recreation has caused inadvertent damage to cultural and ecological values. The popularity and increased visitor use mean the Park needs improvements to ensure the area’s significant ecological and cultural values are protected.


Did you know?

B.C.’s provincial parks have experienced an increase of over one million visits every year for the last five years.

By joining others, you can help fund crucial work to maintain trails, improve signage, acquire adjacent lands, and build new structures such as bridges, boardwalks, docks, and more. 

Your gift will help keep Desolation Sound beautiful for you and others like you to enjoy. You can make a difference!
