Great to meet TJ Biemans and his brother Dean from Prairiegravecare as they work to improve Rothbury Cemetery, one of the beautiful pioneer cemeteries under our care. Great work, guys!

Once again, thanks to our donors and volunteers who provided the finances, the water, the gravel, the mowing and trimming before they arrived, etc. Couldn't do this without you!

We are very excited to partner with Prairiegravecare this week on a restoral project for our Rothbury cemetery in the RM of Churchbridge! We've asked TJ to do some cleaning and leveling in order to make this little cemetery a warm and inviting place for friends and family to visit the final resting place of their loved ones.

We extend a special thanks to our donors and volunteers who are supplying monetary and physical resources to make this possible.

Check back for project updates!

If you haven't checked out the museum in Spy Hill, you're missing out! Hat tip to Wolverine Hobby and Historical Society, Spy Hill Museum for their amazing work.

With the extreme weather over the past week, water is crossing the road at Shellmouth. As a result, the roads into Shellmouth have been closed.

Because these Shellmouth cemeteries were such an important part of our tour, we have decided to postpone the tour until later this summer or fall. To those who have registered, we will reach out to you directly once a new date has been determined.

The good news is that the postponed tour will be even better than the original, as we've discovered a couple of additional sites that will make the experience even better than we had planned!

Thank you for your understanding.

This is one of our major fundraisers of the year, with the proceeds going directly toward mowing and repairing some of our heritage cemeteries that have no other funds coming in. While the tour is postponed, the need for mowing is not. We'd be grateful if you'd consider a tax-deductible donation to The Heritage Cemeteries Project (www.heritagecemeteries.ca)
