About
The designated cemetery vault at the Maple Cemetery was constructed in 1882 for the purpose of housing bodies during the winter when the ground was frozen. At the time, machinery to dig through the winter frost was not readily available. During Doors Open, come and take a self-guided tour of the cemetery with its old stone vaults and mausoleums.

City of Vaughan
With a population of more than 340,000 residents, Vaughan is one of the fastest growing communities in Canada, home to more than 217 ethnic or cultural origins with 113 different languages spoken. It is a vibrant, diverse, inclusive and equity-based community that recognizes and celebrates arts, culture and heritage.
We recognize that Vaughan is situated in the Territory and Treaty 13 lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We also recognize the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. The City of Vaughan is currently home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit people today. As representatives of the people of the City of Vaughan, we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and live in this territory.
This event is part of a hub:
