St James Cemetery
St. James Cemetery in Winnipeg, Manitoba, serves as a memorial for the "Wee Souls" who did not survive their mothers' pregnancies, with its first interment recorded in 1856. This cemetery, not exclusively Anglican, reflects the history of the community of St. James and has recently made strides in honoring the memory of over 2,500 infants buried in unmarked graves.
The cemetery features a Memorial Garden designed for contemplation and remembrance, particularly during the annual service held in honor of International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Day. A dedication service for the garden took place in October 2020, allowing families to gather in memory of their lost loved ones, despite limitations due to provincial health protocols.
