Wow! What a fantastic weekend! We had over 5000 people through our open doors here and at the St. James Cathedral. What a wonderful sign to the city and the world that we are here!
People had tours at the Cemetery, a National Historic Site, heard (and were, as always, intrigued) by the wonders of the Cemetery on a guided or self-guided tour and enjoyed a quiet moment or two, and were warmly, enthusiastically, and graciously welcomed.
Thank you to our magnificent volunteers, guides, and friends as well as to our staff who worked tirelessly to ensure the Cemetery and the Cathedral were ready to become a hive of activity and wonder.
