Welcome back to part 2 of A Grave Situation – the cemeteries of Dutton Dunwich. In October 2021, the Dutton Dunwich Municipal Heritage Committee hosted an outdoor Doors Open inviting people to visit 10 of our local cemeteries. We were mostly interested in showing unique grave marker designs, sybolism and iconography versus the stories of the usual prominent citizens. Research and photographs were compiled by volunteers and can be found on the Municipal Website. The Link is in the podcast show notes along with a map to get to the cemeteries. I suggest you download the brochures to your phone or print them off and take a walk around the cemeteries using the podcast as an audio guide, pausing where needed to get to the next marker. Make it a family outing. Special thanks to the 2021 municipal heritage committee members Delany Leitch, Blair Ferguson, Laurence Grant, Ron Ross, Angela Bobier, Elaine Brown (who we miss very much), Municipal Planner Tracy Pilon-Abbs, Deputy Mayor Mike Hentz, Municipal Staff member Kate Morreau and all volunteers who assisted in Doors Open 2021.
