Mount Pleasant Cemetery, National historic cemetery in Toronto, Canada
Mount Pleasant Cemetery extends across 200 acres with numerous paths, fountains, statues, and botanical gardens throughout its rolling landscape.
The cemetery, established in 1876, emerged from a public need as earlier burial grounds were restricted to Anglican and Roman Catholic members.
The grounds contain over 168,000 burial sites, including those of Frederick Banting, who discovered insulin, and former Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King.
Visitors can explore 19 kilometers of paths while discovering monuments, architectural elements, and a collection of indigenous trees from northeastern North America.
The cemetery functions as both a memorial space and a public park where residents exercise, walk, and teach children to ride bicycles.
