Released on November 16, 2009
The Government of Saskatchewan announced a new initiative to look at ways to preserve and catalogue cemeteries and burial sites.
Minister responsible for The Cemeteries Act Don Morgan has asked Al Dwyer to convene a working group of stakeholders and interested individuals to look into this issue and make recommendations on options to encourage greater community involvement in the care and maintenance of local, non-commercial cemeteries. Dwyer is the former Registrar of Cemeteries.
"I believe that something needs to be done to preserve our cemeteries and places of interment, to maintain our heritage for future generations and honour the memory of those who helped build this province," Morgan said.
There are about 3,500 known cemeteries throughout Saskatchewan, many of these run well and cared for by owners, local communities and religious organizations. However, there are a significant number that are abandoned and uncared for as well as many more that are unknown or uncatalogued, including many Aboriginal burial sites.
The working group is to report back to the Minister with their recommendations in the new year. Interested groups, individuals and organizations are encouraged to contact Mr. Dwyer at 1-877-880-5550.
