School Tours
The Beechwood Cemetery is a treasure trove of Canadian historical content. By bringing the student directly to the graves of those they are studying in school helps them connect directly to their education on a personal level. For safety, the maximum number of students per tour is 35. Larger groups will need to be divided between multiple guides.
With a School Tour, you can select which half of the Beechwood Cemetery you would like to visit, a Reconciling History Tour, a Defence and Security Tour or select a custom tour theme. If you would like a specific tour theme, there is a suggested donation of $100 for the added research needed. If you would like a shorter tour, that is absolutely doable, free of charge!
To book a School tour: Email foundation@beechwoodottawa.ca with your preferred time and date. Please contact us at least a week before you’d like to have your tour; providing more than one suggested time or date will be helpful for scheduling purposes.
