A piece of Canadian history; so peaceful and quiet. Many plaques with details of the cemetery, history and foundation. There's also a war monument right at the entrance.
Saint Boniface Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral of Saint Boniface, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The founder of Manitoba, Louis Riel is buried in the cathedral cemetery. This indeed is one of the most photographed cathedrals in Winnipeg, after knowing its history of the fire and destruction it went through even now it has its royal aura and is very appealing.
Who looks after this cemetery. What sad state, it's in
It horrible

With 4 generations buried here I have been to this cemetery for many years… the history here is really quit amazing, and there are some very unique markers if you’re in to that type of thing. Kudos to the fantastic staff for the rejuvenation and maintenance of this grand historic site. A special thanks to the office staff in their help finding our families “lost” grave.
Cool place to wander around and see some history.
Quiet and peaceful
Well I must say that this place is pretty nice. Well maintained and clean. I can say that on several occasions I have spotted a sickly ghoul waltzing around the “park” as he calls it. He sometimes carry’s his old guitar as long as the weather isn’t too hot outside, wouldn’t want it to split the wood. He grimaces and complains about the pain in his old bones. Not sure if he works here or is just a ghoulish fiend using this pristine resting place for leisure. I can say that the ghoul must have had a twist of good fortune as he has been all smiles as of late. I can also say that the ghoul looks very familiar. I remember an Interpol poster I saw on my last trip to Southeast Asia for a wanted man. He looked eerily similar I must say to the ghoulish figure from elmwood cemetery. Anyway nice guy but I feel bad for it when he complains about how the people in his rooming house are melting wires and electronics for copper in the shared communal kitchen of his elmwood rooming house. Must be hard to sleep with all that scrap metal industry going on in his house.
Since it’s elmwood I wonder if I’ll ever run into Doug mcthrill, I hear he just moved to elmwood, somewhere near Talbot and watt.
Anyway nice place for a stroll and I have an uncle, or maybe it’s an aunt? Buried here nice place to pay respects.

What can one say? This truly remarkable historic cemetery right in the middle of downtown Halifax, is WELL worth a visit, even if you pass it every day on your way to work, as many folks do, without giving it more than a passing glance. Has an INSANE number of very historic and interesting headstones to explore, and is also large enough for a quick "retreat" from the hustle and bustle of city life. Very well maintained in addition. We are QUITE fortunate to have such a place so well preserved, in our Fair City.
Little oasis. Calm, quiet, peaceful!! Close to nature. Love it.
I have lots of relatives here. Grandparents, aunts, granduncles and grandaunts and many many cousins. Peaceful, but older cemetery, frost heaves and vandalism have affected many headstones. I photographed the entire cemetery about 10 years ago. Those photos are on the CanadaGenWeb's Cemetery Project website. As far as I know, it's an offshoot of the St-Boniface Cathedral cemetery, started because they needed more space. Enjoy going there and just walking around.
Lots of relatives here. Beautiful cemetery.
Nice cemetery.
The pioneers of Brampton
Really interesting place, lots of history here and there are people around to answer questions.
Very nice memorials
An old, well maintained city cemetery. I have an ancestor buried here. The staff helped me find the grave marker. Very friendly and helpful.
