Mount Pleasant Cemetery

Mount Pleasant Cemetery is one of Toronto's great landscaped cemeteries, with miles of walking paths, mature trees, and monuments set across rolling grounds. It is the resting place of many notable Canadians, including William Lyon Mackenzie King, Glenn Gould, Frederick Banting, and Charles Best.

The cemetery works as both a quiet walk and a historical stop. Bring time to wander rather than treating it as a single grave visit; the scale and landscape are a large part of the appeal.
