This is a very timely article.  The province currently has a private members' bill (Bill 149, Inactive Cemeteries Protection Act, 2009) on the books which received 2nd reading on March 12th and is now under review by the Standing Committee on General Government.  This Bill has a lot of MPP support - and apparently (I'm happy to say) public support as evidenced here. Move over Mt. Pleasant Cemetary!]]>

I love that using intense turbo-Bond Google spy satellites is common enough to be like, "duh" at this point. The future is now!]]>

"can one really visit that one without getting hit by speeding cars?"

Yes. You'll see the entrance if you go to the satellite view of any online map service.]]>

I grew up about a block away on the Markham side of Warden and we used to go to this plaza a lot. I've never noticed this little cemetary. 

Steeles and Brimley, another cemetary I believe. ]]>

@Mark Moore: Yes! I've seen that one. Cemetery surrounded by highway. It seems like there's no easy access point there... can one really visit that one without getting hit by speeding cars?

@Miroslav Glavic: Right, the southwest corner is St. Paul's... the former site of a different old church, which burned down in 1935. On our trip we spent a good amount of time here, too. Some of the tombstones are pretty beautiful, and many of them are in pretty good shape despite being 150ish years old.

What about the Richview Memorial Cemetery surrounded by 401 & 427, enter off Eglinton Ave. West. Google that one.]]>

I thought I was the only one who has this odd fascination with exploring cemetaries. I agree, see the grave of those who preceeded you fills you with an awe that nothing else can. 

Love the article. I've been by that patch of grass many times, but never realized there were graves there. ]]>

There are large plans to redevelop the mall and surrounding lands into a high rise apartment neighbourhood. Here's the status page of the ward councillor Mike Del Grande if you're interested.

There is a cemetery on the SOUTHWEST corner of Finch and Warden (I have passed it a billion times on my way home but never actually read the name of it. Even Google maps does not have a label/name for it.

Anyways, is this cemetery have any relation to the one of your story in the northwest corner? or two completely seperate ones?

Wait a minute, are you saying that when this morning I walked to the Warden bus stop (southbound) on the northwest corner from the mall I walked over dead people? If I get ghosts haunting me, I am going to blame you for that. :D]]>
