The Edith Hallquist dedicated tree is to the right as you enter the cemetery from Canyon View Drive. Edith passed away in 2011.
Canyon View Cemetery is within the Okanagan-Similkameen Regional District and was dedicated in 1968. There are approximately 18,000 interments.
There is an impressive Veteran section; each gravesite has a cross with the traditions Canadian poppy. We estimate there are over 300 veterans interred here. The poppy was inspired by the poem "In Flanders Fields" written by John McCrae in May 1915.
