Dear Lister: I would like to know if anyone on this list would be interested in formation a Ontario Cemeteries Conservation Group. This group mandate would be simple and to the point. 1. To bring to the attention of the public a cemetery that is in disrepair. 2.To make sure that all cemeteries in a member area are known and acknowledge. 3. That all cemeteries are accessible to the public. 4. To have signage for cemeteries put in place, if feasible. Membership is free and all work volunteer.This non -profit group would follow the proposed format . Part "A" Step 1. To contact the cemetery's owner , bringing the problem to their attention. Step 2.Contact the Ontario Cemeteries Board in Toronto Step 3. If no action is taken upon contacting the owners of the cemetery and/or the Ontario Cemeteries Board, will contact the media to resolve this issue. Part "B" 4. Where the cemetery is not known to the public , can either record the stones themselves or contact the nearest branch of the OGS to do this. Part"C" 5. If a member wishes, they may photography a cemetery. Part "D" The" Ontario Cemeteries Conservation Group" main objective is to be a non- confrontational group working in a positive way to resolve a cemetery issue . I further proposed that we also start a new program " Adopt a grave" This program would be for anyone who wishes to take care of a gravesite by maintenance of weed control if there is none, or water or planting of flowers in accordance to the cemetery's bylaws of the gravesite they wish to adopted. There are lots of gravesite that have no immediate family to care or give this personal touch. Permission of the owners of the cemetery must be given . "Adopt a Grave" would be a FREE voluntary service. To the best of my knowledge there is no known group such as this in Ontario. Please contact me only if would like to see this group formed . Sheila
