A bit of a sad sight.
Open old cemetery. Although it’s in the city center, it’s quiet here. I saw people come here a couple of times for a jog. The local graves are full of history... but three stars because so many of them are in very poor condition. And I’m not even talking about the fact that some texts have been almost erased (time does not spare even immortal stones), but about the fact that the graves themselves were often broken or fallen. I really hope that at least some restoration will be carried out, but for now the rating 3 is not for the place itself, but for the condition in which it is.

Beautiful, serene place. It’s like walking through a history book or Time Capsule with the old stones and old trees. Everything a cemetery should be.
I need help please… looking for a grave site of a young child “Frederick Joseph Keast” I was told he is in section 2-D I’m in Ontario and would love a photo of the grave site or the area if no stone is found

With some time to 'kill' in halifax, we decided to wander through this old cemetery. I have walked by many times but never went it. Viola Desmond is buried here and there is a sign marking the spot. I also saw Alexander Keith's grave. The graveyard is very interesting with many old markers that are in bad shape, but many more recent. It is a lovely spot to wander through.
A beautiful cemetery in the heart of Halifax. his cemetery is of particular note historically as it hosts the graves of Viola Desmond, the Canadian civl-rights icon, Alexander Keith, the famous maker of Keith's beer, and Joseph Howe, Nova Scotian Premiere and journalist. It is located next to the QEII hospital, the Veterans Memorial Hospital, and the Abby J. Lane Hospital.
My late nephew (Christopher O'Callaghan Gauthier) is suppose to be buried here. Who can I contact to see if he is as there is no webpage for Camp Hill Cemetery & I would like to visit his grave site?
My late son, Connor O'Callaghan sleeps here, steps from Viola Desmond. This is one of the most beautiful cemeteries I've ever been in and I'm very thankful for this lovely place and those who attend it.
