The Evansburg Cemetery is the only County-owned and operated cemetery. Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2025, the cemetery has played an important role in the history of the region. The property initially started out as a homestead, eventually being developed into a subdivision called Arnupville. In 1925, the first burial was interred, marking a long history of honouring residents. The cemetery features a beautiful lookout of the Pembina River Valley, a walking trail and a newly installed Columbarium. Plots and niches are available for sale, please contact the Wildwood office at 780-325-3782.
