Cemetery Stroll back by popular demand

Published on Tuesday, 24 May 2022 08:09

Dauphin residents are once again being given an opportunity to learn more about the history of their community.

The Dauphin Family Ties Family History Group is once again hosting its popular Cemetery Stroll, May 29, at Riverside Cemetery.

The event, which debuted last spring, includes a walking tour through a portion of the cemetery that will introduce attendees to 16 former Dauphinites who helped weave the fabric of the community. A biography will be provided at each gravesite allowing the reader to learn about the lives of the people that came before us and their contributions to the evolution of Dauphin.

As well, out of respect to all the airmen and airwomen who served and trained at the two British Commonwealth Air Training Plan schools at Dauphin during the Second World War, the group is calling special attention to 15 of the 49 airmen who lost their lives while training here and who lie at rest at Riverside.

The event will start at 1 p.m. and will run until 4 p.m. weather permitting.

If the day is spoiled by inclement weather, the alternate date will be, June 5.
