Smashing IT! 🌹 Historical Site. Step inside one of Toronto's largest and oldest Cemeteries. Well kept and very peaceful. It's also home to Toronto's largest WW1 and WW2 grave sites.

A narrow and super long cemetery, which is beautifully arranged, clean and well organized. Two roads lead through it and it has several nice corners. It’s a nice place for quiet walks. I came across two racoons. You can find there some war memorials and mausoleum too.
It's a pretty well maintained cemetery and smooth path
A lovely place to have a walk. Enjoy the changing colour of the leaves 🍁🍃🍂 and learn some history too. Particularly poignant was the memorial to fallen soldiers. The neighbourhood of Earlscourt sent 2,500 young working class British men to war, but over 320 never returned, making this the most impacted neighborhood in Canada on a per capita basis. 🇨🇦 Read about more history on the plaques that provide context on the many wars Canadians served in. The mausoleums were also of particular interest.
By far some of the nicest ghosts you will ever meet. It’s really nice to see that even in 2026 our local spirits and apparitions aren’t overwhelmed by phones and TikTok and influencers. “Let the New York ghosts have it,” I say. But does anyone listen?
