St. Margaret of Scotland Cemetery is Re-Dedicated by the Church, August 2009

By late July, the first phase of the restoration had been completed, with many stones straightened, and fixed and put into place.  To celebrate the renewal of the ceremony, the Bishop of PEI led a dedication ceremony at the cemetery. This was a significant event, since the cemetery would not be recognized as an actively maintained cemetery, and place of respect.

The ceremony was followed by a Ceilidh event at the St. Margarets Church and Parish Hall.
