National Military Cemetery Clean-Up 2025

Join us at the National Military Cemetery for a day of service and community.

We invite all members of the community, serving members of the military, veterans, and family members to join us for a special headstone cleaning event at the National Military Cemetery. This meaningful activity is a way to show our respect and gratitude for those who have served and sacrificed.

Where: National Military Cemetery
When: September 28 2025 or October 19 2025 or October 26 2025 (Rain Day)
Time: 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
Who: Anyone wanting to show their support to CAF Members, Veterans and their families
Dress: Relaxed

This event is not only an opportunity to maintain the dignity and honour of the resting places of our fallen heroes but also a chance to come together as a community. As we clean the headstones, we will reflect on the legacy and bravery of each individual commemorated here.

This event is co-hosted by Beechwood Cemetery Foundation and the National Military Cemetery.
