Chinese Cemetery

At about 1.4 ha (3.5 acres) of land, Chinese Cemetery is Calgary’s smallest burial grounds. Found next door to Burnsland Cemetery and just off Macleod Trail, this cemetery is the final burial place of many of Calgary’s Chinese pioneers who contributed to the development of the west.

Although filled to capacity long ago, the cemetery stands as a reminder of their contributions, as well as the hardships and racial discriminations they faced. A concrete and granite memorial, which was erected in the year 2000, also stands as acknowledgement to the important role they played in the past.
