Mount View Cemetery is very well maintained with chain link fencing and large trees around the perimeter.
The newer section of the cemetery the grave markers are flush to the ground. There are many veterans interred here and some still had the traditional red poppy place near their grave markers to recognize those who served in the Canadian armed forces.
The cemetery is about 3 acres and there are approximately 730 known interments. Newly added are two memorial walls for those to be remembered. One is specifically for children, with no plaques when we visited the cemetery. There is a columbarium at the SE corner.
Also there is an interesting sculpture of a family embraced in a circle. It is placed within a small flower bed. There are several benches nearby.
