All Souls 2009

A Night for All Souls was created by Paula Jardine the cemetery’s artist in residence. Find out more about Paula here.

It’s almost October, and preparations are underway once again for All Souls at Mountain View Cemetery. This year we will open on Friday, October 30, with opening prayers at sundown, and continuing until the closing ceremony at noon, November 3. Once again we will be inviting the public to remember their dead in an atmosphere of contemplative beauty, with candles, flowers, music and tea. The Helping Mex y Can Society will host an evening of Mexican cultural activities celebrating the Day of the Dead on Saturday, October 31, and there will be an afternoon to honour Vancouver Poets who have passed away this year on Sunday, November 1st.

Visit our website www.vancouver.ca/allsouls for complete listings of events, and public workshops, which begin October 17th.
