Maple Cemetery Vault, 1882
(2000 Major Mackenzie Drive)
An excerpt from the by-law that protects this site:
(Ontario Heritage Trust. “Https://Www.heritagetrust.on.ca/En/Oha/Details/File?Id=4593.”)
"The Cemetery Vault at the Maple Cemetery was constructed in 1882 for the purpose of maintaining the bodies of the deceased during the winter when the ground was too hard to dig. Such a structure was necessary since adequate machinery to dig through the winter frost was not readily available."
