The Shaunavon Hillcrest Cemetery Committee was formed a while back to work towards improving the appearance of Hillcrest Cemetery located just south of Shaunavon.

They held a meeting on July 14 and Chairperson, Pat Billard, talked about what the group is planning first. She said, "We had more people than what we had expected (at the meeting). It was great. And we, at that meeting, have narrowed down our focus and we're looking at the one entrance and a possible archway at another spot."

Billard said the work will be done on the east side entrance to the Cemetery. They always welcome donations, and a tax receipt will be issued by the Town.

The group also received a wonderful donation of five trees from The Garden of Eden Greenhouse and Gifts, located at Blumenort, located about 30 kilometers from Swift Current.

Billard says the trees have been planted in between other tree out at Hillcrest and are doing well.
