Town working on the development of a cemetery master plan

BRACEBRIDGE, ON (November 4, 2024) – The Town of Bracebridge is working with LEES+Associates to develop a Cemetery Master Plan to guide the future development, operation, care, and maintenance of cemeteries in Bracebridge. This study will enable the Town to understand the community’s interment and memorialization needs to ensure there are sufficient products and services to accommodate current and future requirements.

Stakeholders and members of the community are invited to review the project details and provide their feedback through an open question on Engage Bracebridge.  A more detailed survey will be available beginning Friday, November 15, for stakeholders to provide more information and feedback to help direct the development of the plan to ensure it aligns with community needs.
