Glenbank Cemetery was originally established for the relocation of the Arrow Park Cemetery remains during the flooding of the Arrow Lakes in the 1960s. The section with these individual's graves is designated with a plaque. Within this section are grave markers dating as early as the late 1800s.
The cemetery is surrounded by indigenous trees and is about 2 acres.
We located the grave site of Victor Desrochers and Douglass Crispin, two 10 year old boys who drowned May 24, 1938. Their remains were moved to the Arrow Park Cemetery section in the 1960s.
