MacTier Union Cemetery Closure Update - June 5, 2026 

We would like to thank everyone for their patience, comments, and concerns regarding the temporary closure of the cemetery.

Work on the trees will begin Wednesday, June 10 (weather permitting). The work is expected to be complete by end of day, at which point Township staff will conduct a thorough inspection of the site to ensure the area is safe and ready for public access.

At this time we anticipate reopening the cemetery no later than the end of day on June 11, subject to the final safety inspection.

We understand the importance of access to the cemetery for families and visitors and appreciate your understanding throughout this process.
