<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">The Historic Cemetery Tour will take place Oct. 23<sup>rd</sup> and 30<sup>th</sup> at 3:00 pm and will feature selected stories of past residents, many of whom made significant contributions to the community through
their lives and work. This tour departs from the Oliver Cemetery’s front gate at 1068 Rockcliffe Road and is approximately 40 minutes long. It is a non-scary daytime tour, and while adults will enjoy it most, it is suitable for all ages.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">The Fairview After Dark tour provides a spookier atmosphere and is recommended for adults and teens. This tour will be offered Oct. 23<sup>rd</sup> and 30<sup>th</sup> departing at 7:00 pm from the Fairview kiosk, across
the street from Willowbrook Road. During this tour, attendees have the chance to wander a dark trail through the old ghost town while listening to tales of disasters, strange occurrences, and grisly deaths that took place in the rough-and-tumble mining town.
Visitors are asked to bring a flashlight and to wear warm clothing and appropriate footwear. Costumes are also encouraged.
