See link to National Post at bottom of post: The Mount Pleasant Group of Cemeteries was created by an act of the provincial legislature more than 180 years ago as a public trust and “property of the citizens,” a status that apparently went unchanged in 12 other Ontario laws affecting the group, passed as recently as 1989. Today, though, the organization styles itself as an independent non-profit corporation, its books withheld from public scrutiny and its three main directors — all pillars of the Toronto business and philanthropic establishments — accountable to neither the public nor the legislature.
