Doors Open 2025 is a city-wide celebration for Torontonians and others to explore some of the most iconic buildings in our city.
St. James Cemetery and Crematorium is the oldest cemetery and crematorium in Toronto.
Opened in July 1844, it boasts a rich history, beautiful grounds, and the charming and historic St.-James-the-Less Chapel. We invite you to explore for yourself St. James’ unique beauty and the extensive range of services offered.
Join us with your family and friends:
Saturday, May 24: 10:00am to 5:00pm
Sunday, May 25: 10:00am to 5:00pm
Those who visit the Cemetery, a National Historic Site, can take a guided or self-guided tour. Invite and share it with your family and friends! We would love to see you!
Call for Volunteers!
As always, volunteers from the Cathedral community are instrumental in making Doors Open an ongoing success at St. James Cemetery and St. James Cathedral, helping visitors feel welcome, sharing information, and providing a friendly and inviting presence throughout St. James Cemetery and St. James Cathedral.
