If you need help setting the marker, you can hire Public Works staff for a fee, as set out in Schedule C of the Fees and Charges Bylaw.
Annual cemetery cleanup
Each spring, the Two Rivers Community Service Society organizes a cemetery cleanup event. Volunteers rake, pack, haul, prune, and clear the cemetery of fuel. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Dodge Family memorial bench
In spring 2024, the family of Lloyd and Dorothy Dodge unveiled a commemorative bench in the municipal cemetery. Dorothy started the annual cemetery cleanup decades ago, and the commemorative bench honours her lifetime of maintaining the cemetery records and site.
The bench chosen is one that survived the Lytton fire. It sits near the entrance to the cemetery facing the snow-capped peaks across the Fraser River.
