Ontario Heritage Trust Volunteer Awards

Two Keewatin Residents have picked up volunteer awards from the Ontario Heritage Trust.

Ted Szjewski and Laureen Parsons were presented plaques for their work in restoring the old cemetary in Keewatin.

The cemetary dates all the way back to the early 1900's but had been abandoned and overgrown.

Szjewski and Parsons and a number of other volunteers have been working over the past few years to clean up the gravestones and spruce up the property.
