BRACEBRIDGE, ON – Anyone visiting cemeteries maintained by the Town of Bracebridge is asked to do so at their own risk this winter.
A release from the municipality said it stopped maintaining the 19 sites it manages on November 9th and won’t start again until May 1st. That includes driveway and road plowing, so visitors are asked to use extra caution.
The town added that no interments or monument installations will take place during the closure. The release said wreath or flower arrangements are still permitted but asked they be removed within 30 days.
The Town of Bracebridge is responsible for the management of these 19 cemeteries:
- Annie Williams Memorial, 50 Santa’s Village Road
- Bracebridge Municipal, 19 Lilac Lane
- Bracebridge United, 40 Santa’s Village Road
- Falkenburg Union, 2107 Manitoba Street
