District of Peachland staff are conducting the biannual clean-up of the Peachland Cemetery this week, July 6 to 10, to remove items that have been placed on or around memorial markers.
Items that are not part of the official monument will be placed next to the maintenance building on the grounds for owners to collect and take away, or place back on the memorial when the clean-up is complete.
This maintenance is conducted twice annually as required to help ensure it remains a beautiful, safe and clean space for all visitors.
