COMMUNITY PROGRAM - Walking Tour: Boundary Bay Cemetery


Join Veronica Foxall and the Delta Museum and Archives for a walk 
through the historic Boundary Bay Cemetery on Saturday, August 11, 2007, 
from 10:00am – 11:00am.

Veronica will share anecdotes about many of Delta’s families dating as 
far back as the late 1800’s. Participants will also hear about the 
symbols, styles, and materials used in the cemetery’s grave markers and 
landscaping up until present day.

The municipality of Delta originally purchased the plot of ten acres of 
land from William Ladner, one of the areas’ first settlers. Ladner 
settled here, along with his brother Thomas in 1868. The cemetery became 
the final resting place for many of Delta’s pioneer families and in 
October 1893 was officially recognized as the municipal cemetery.

Pre-registration for this event is required. The tour costs $10.00 per 
person but if you register by August 1^st , pay the early bird price of 
$8.00 per person. To register and for more information please call the 
Delta Museum and Archives at 604-946-9322 or visit us at 4858 Delta 
Street, Tuesday to Sunday 10:00am – 4:30pm.
