The Town of The Blue Mountains is holding a Community Engagement Session to introduce a project which will see the creation of a Green Burial Area at the Thornbury-Clarksburg Union Cemetery, as identified through The Town’s Cemetery Master Plan. Council approved the Cemetery Master Plan in November 2023. Council gave direction at the time to prioritize the Green Burial Area in the workplan.
This project will include a concept design update and detailed design to support implementation of the new cemetery section aligned with the Arc Concept identified in the Cemetery Master Plan. Development of the Green Burial Area is proposed to include gathering spaces, sustainable planting buffers and communal memorial features.
All those interested in the project are invited to attend the Community Engagement Session. The event will include a presentation and Q&A session. The meetings will be recorded and posted to the project page for anyone unable to attend in person.
Date: Tuesday, March 24, 2026
Time: 1-3 p.m. and 5-7 p.m.
