POLISH GRAVES

FR  /  PL

SAINT-SAUVEUR CEMETERY IN QUEBEC’S LAURENTIANS

Welcome !

In the peace and quiet of this rural graveyard, surrounded by ancient Laurentian rocks, you may be surprised to find a scattering of unfamiliar tombstones with puzzling inscriptions.

Let your fingers do the walking on a virtual tour of this unusual historical site. Discover the mysterious lives of some 200 Polish post-war immigrants to Canada with their fascinating stories of distant roots, great adversity and, not infrequently, heroic deeds. The first generation were refugees in this hospitable country where they rebuilt their lives and raised their families.

Welcome to the Cemetery of Saint-Sauveur as you stroll down the avenues of Polish graves.
