Dawes Road Cemetery
Dawes Road Cemetery is a Jewish cemetery in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located in Scarborough, on St. Clair Avenue east of Victoria Park Avenue. Established in 1903, it was the third Jewish cemetery in Toronto. The first cemeteries, the Pape Avenue Cemetery and Jones Avenue Cemetery, had been established in the eastern part of the city. Dawes Road Cemetery was also placed in what was then a rural area on the edge of the city. Since then some 13,000 people have been buried there, including 11 Canadian servicemen of World War II whose graves are registered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.[1]

gollark: A few weeks ago someone on Hackaday apparently had a VAST quantity of batteryless Windows tablets and I wanted some of them for things, but nooooooo, it costs *money* to ship things.
gollark: It annoys me how there are frequently cool free things in places I'm not.
