On Friday morning almost 50 headstones were found damaged at Ross Bay Cemetery. Representatives from the Old Cemeteries Society executive attended the scene of the crime on Saturday morning to list and photograph the damage.

The swath seems to have started at the south east corner at St Charles Lane and ended by the washrooms at Memorial Crescent.

The City Parks Dept. was very quick to address the problem by reporting the vandalism to Police and authorizing Mortimer’s Monumental Works to start work immediately. 23 monuments were repaired immediately and the remaining will be attended to on Monday December 7, 2009. We will be notifying any descendants we have in our records. Another senseless act of cowardice.
