Thanks to all who came out for the cemetery cleanup mornings on October 22nd and October 29th. 

We accomplished a lot! Your help was greatly appreciated. The cemetery looks much tidier and ready for our visitors today and on Sunday.

You are invited to a Service of Remembrance for veterans in St. Luke's Cemetery. 

The 10 am service will be a combined All Saints’ Day Service and a Service of Remembrance.

The service will start in the church and then we will move outside to honour the more than 158 veterans in St. Luke's Cemetery. The children will place special remembrance pots on all of the veterans' graves. Read about previous Services of Remembrance and see pictures here.

The service will be livestreamed starting at 10 am as well as recorded to view later at your convenience.

Today, Thursday, November 3rd, students from Cedar Hill Middle School will visit St. Luke's Cemetery for a No Stone Left Alone ceremony.  

This is the second year this event has been held at St. Luke's Cemetery. The whole school (around 500 students) will be visiting this year. It is very moving to see all the students in the cemetery honouring the veterans. 

The aim of this event is to educate students about Canada’s rich history of service to country and to remember our fallen by placing the Legion symbol of remembrance, the poppy, at veterans' headstones.

The remains of at least 158 veterans are interred or commemorated in St. Luke's Cemetery. Please open and view the list (updated November 2, 2022) from the link below to check if your relative's name is on the list. The list has been updated since it was sent out last month, with another veteran added as well as more links to further information about the veterans as the information has been sent to us. 

If you would like to add the name of a relative or friend who is a veteran whose name isn't on the list or send further information about the veteran, please contact Barb Prescott by e-mail or phone St. Luke's Office (250-477-6741). We are always happy to receive further information to add to our records.

This e-mail list was compiled from contact information St. Luke’s Cemetery Committee has regarding descendants, family members, and friends of people buried in St. Luke’s Cemetery. 

While we know that many of you don't live in the Greater Victoria area, please feel free to pass along this e-mail to relatives who live in the area.

The e-mail list is used to send out newsletters and information about special events regarding the cemetery several times a year. If you do not wish to be on this list to receive these occasional updates, please reply to this e-mail and let me know and I will take you off the list.
