Ootischenia Doukhobor Cemetery

SGRC Lead Researcher: Ian Parfitt
SGRC Interns: Barry McLane, Christie Rajtar

Funders: Ootischenia Doukhobor Graveyard Committee

SGRC Interns Christie Rajtar and Barry McLane completed a GPS survey of the headstones, as the headstones were removed to allow for machine grading and grass seeding of the Cemetery grounds.

An updated grave registry and site map were also provided.
