About this cemetery
Ross Bay Cemetery lies at 1516 Fairfield Road in Victoria, British Columbia, and has been in continuous use since 1872, when the City of Victoria purchased the remote slope overlooking Ross Bay. Covering about 11 hectares, it has the oldest surviving formal landscape design in British Columbia and is a notable example of a Victorian-era burial ground. Many historical figures from the early days of the colony and province are buried here. For enquiries, call +1 250-361-0600 or see victoria.ca.
