Honouring Memories and Celebrating Life for Over 150 Years

In June 2025, the Port Dover Cemetery proudly celebrated its 150th anniversary with a community commemoration attended by nearly 100 people. The event honoured the lives and stories that have shaped Port Dover through poetry, restored historical artifacts, and a guided walking tour. It was a meaningful afternoon of remembrance, reflection, and community connection. Visitors are invited to continue exploring our history through a self-guided walking tour of the cemetery.
