History

Brookside is one of the oldest cemeteries in Winnipeg with the first interment having taken place in 1878. This cemetery reflects the history of the people of Winnipeg. It is the final resting place of decorated war heroes, politicians, athletes, and people from all walks of life. It is a perpetual record of yesteryear and a sanctuary of peace and quiet. Brookside Cemetery became a National Historic Site in 2023.
