MacLaren Cemetery

An idyllic little corner of the Gatineau, full of peace and beauty. If you are visiting Wakefield, Quebec, do take this short detour behind the Wakefield Mill Hotel and enjoy the panoramic view of the hills. It is especially lovely in the fall. The cemetary itself is moving, with tributes to some of Canada's leading politicians and TV personalities.

Burial site of many prominent Canadians, notably Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson and some of the top civil servants in Canada's Foreign Affairs Department, including Hume Wrong, Norman Robertson, and Rob Bryce. Many leading national broadcasters as well. Beautiful panoramic view south.
