Our Vision“Every life is worth loving and remembering always…”

These poignant words are inscribed in stone at theentranceway to the picturesque GlenwoodCemetery. This peaceful site is a final resting placefor thousands of early settlers and their descen-dants who cleared the land and shaped our history.Today their legacy endures in street names, historichomes and buildings and in small and great deedsthat marked lifetimes of endeavours.

Our mission is to keep the property in its former elegance as a self-sustaining cemetery, to be a wel-coming place, a community resource used for family walks, historical research, concerts, churchservices and community events.

Our vision celebrates life. It’s our way of “loving andand remembering always…”
