Council Meeting 06/16
🌿 One of the key areas of focus for Avoca's Culture & Recreation Board is the continued care and maintenance of Graceland Cemetery.

Following discussions this past winter, the decision was made to bring cemetery grounds maintenance back in-house under the direction of our Public Works Department after the service was contracted out during the previous season.

This transition allows for greater oversight, consistency, and care as we work to keep Graceland Cemetery a beautiful and respectful place for families to honor and remember their loved ones.

A special thank you to our Public Works team for their hard work and dedication to maintaining this important community space. Your efforts help preserve the beauty and dignity of Graceland Cemetery for all who visit. 💚🍃
