Mount Pleasant

 

Mount Pleasant Cemetery is one of the custodians of our country’s history. One of Canada’s most historic cemeteries, Mount Pleasant has served the Toronto community since 1876. It is the final resting place of many prominent Canadians, as varied as former prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, Jennie Smillie-Robinson, Canada’s first female surgeon, popular Métis artist Youngfox, and pianist Glenn Gould.  For well over a century, the movers and the shakers, the famous and the infamous, the rich and the poor have made this cemetery their final resting place. This site highlights stones that are historical and also where they can be found.
