With some time to 'kill' in halifax, we decided to wander through this old cemetery. I have walked by many times but never went it. Viola Desmond is buried here and there is a sign marking the spot. I also saw Alexander Keith's grave. The graveyard is very interesting with many old markers that are in bad shape, but many more recent. It is a lovely spot to wander through.
A beautiful cemetery in the heart of Halifax. his cemetery is of particular note historically as it hosts the graves of Viola Desmond, the Canadian civl-rights icon, Alexander Keith, the famous maker of Keith's beer, and Joseph Howe, Nova Scotian Premiere and journalist. It is located next to the QEII hospital, the Veterans Memorial Hospital, and the Abby J. Lane Hospital.
My late son, Connor O'Callaghan sleeps here, steps from Viola Desmond. This is one of the most beautiful cemeteries I've ever been in and I'm very thankful for this lovely place and those who attend it.
