Preserving Canada’s National Cemetery: Building the Future Together
A Living Legacy of Remembrance
Beechwood Cemetery stands as more than a final resting place, it is Canada’s national site of memory, honour, and reflection. Each tree-lined path, each monument, and each section tells a chapter of our collective story, from the earliest community builders to the men and women who served in uniform, to the families who helped shape this country.
For over 150 years, Beechwood has remained a place where Canadians come to remember, to learn, and to reconnect with our shared history. Yet maintaining this legacy, and ensuring it continues to grow, depends on community support.
Why Fundraising Matters
As a not-for-profit organization and national charity, Beechwood Cemetery Foundation reinvests every donation into preserving our sacred grounds, expanding our educational programs, and ensuring that remembrance remains at the heart of our mission.
Your generosity supports:
- National ceremonies and commemorations that honour Canada’s veterans, peacekeepers, and public safety personnel.
- Educational programs and tours for schools, youth groups, and the public, fostering a deeper understanding of Canadian heritage.
- Environmental stewardship through Beechwood’s Arboretum and green initiatives, protecting the natural beauty that surrounds our historic grounds.
- Future Capital projects, such as the Beechwood National Memorial Centre Expansion, a space designed to serve generations to come as a hub for remembrance, education, and celebration.
Every contribution, whether $50 or $5,000, directly strengthens the foundation of remembrance in Canada’s capital.
A Call to Action
In a time when remembrance must be both preserved and renewed, your support ensures Beechwood remains a living, evolving national treasure.
Together, we can expand spaces that inspire reflection, maintain the natural sanctuaries that bring peace, and build a legacy that endures.
Make your mark in Canada’s story.
