On Sunday, May 24, take a tour through Oshawa’s largest cemetery, Union Cemetery where we explore the First World War and Second World War sections, sharing stories of local citizens who were active in the war efforts. Parkwood volunteers will be on-hand, carefully cleaning gravestones and sharing stories of those laid to rest here. The tour begins at 2 PM at the front gates of Union Cemetery.
