History

Transcona Cemetery was first opened in 1914 by the Municipality of Transcona. The City of Winnipeg took ownership of the cemetery in 1972 when the municipalities amalgamated as part of the broader ‘Unicity’, which saw 13 municipalities amalgamate to form the City of Winnipeg.

The Field of Honour at Transcona Cemetery is the final resting place of more than 300 Veterans and Service Members. A memorial cross was unveiled within the Field of Honour in 1987 to commemorate the Veterans interred within the Cemetery. In 2020, a Bridge of Remembrance was erected to honour the 119 fallen soldiers who died during WWI and WWII and were buried overseas. The bridge connects the older Field of Honour area with the newly expanded area to the west.
