Last fall, one of our project managers captured this stunning view from one of the highest points at York Cemetery, looking east. It’s in these spontaneous moments that we’re reminded of the quiet beauty of our grounds and of our city. Have you experienced a beautiful moment here? Share it with us in the comments.

A beautiful bronze tribute nestled within Mount Pleasant Cemetery. A resting dog, forever loyal, forever loved. This sculpture is more than art; it’s a symbol of devotion, memory and peace. Part of the monument, part of the moment. A loving presence that speaks to the bond we never lose. 🐾

Say hello to Heather and her beautiful golden retriever, Willow!

Heather is a retired telecommunications manager with a heart for helping others. Along with the volunteer work she does at MPG, she also volunteers with clients at the Alzheimer's Society of Durham and serves as a volunteer coordinator at The Animal Guardian Society (TAGS), a local animal rescue. She also works part-time as an Executive Assistant at the Alzheimer Society of Durham.

Willow, a four-year-old golden retriever, was rescued from Egypt through Golden Rescue and has been spreading joy ever since. This sweet girl loves people and has a natural gift for bringing comfort wherever she goes. Whether she’s visiting clients or just brightening the day for staff, Willow is always ready with a wagging tail and a warm heart.

Heather has been volunteering for over 30 years and believes deeply in the power of giving back. Together, she and Willow are a shining example of how compassion and connection can make a real difference.

“Dogs bring so much comfort in difficult times,” said Heather. “Willow may be here for the clients, but I think she’s the staff therapy dog too!”

Is it legal to scatter cremated remains in Ontario? The answer is… yes, with the landowner’s permission. Scattering on Crown land, including lakes and rivers, is allowed if the area is unoccupied. Examples include conservation reserves, remote forested areas, and shorelines and waters of the Great Lakes.

For municipally owned land, it’s best to check with your local or regional municipality to confirm any restrictions. Keep in mind that scattering ashes outside of a cemetery may not offer a permanent memorial. The location could be sold, redeveloped or access might be restricted in the future. It is important to note that no one other than a licensed provider (like MPG) is permitted to charge a fee.

At Mount Pleasant Group, we offer a variety of scattering options within our cemeteries, ensuring dignity, permanence and peace of mind. For more information, visit www.mountpleasantgroup.com
