An ad hoc group of residents living in proximity to Mt. Pleasant Cemetery has elected Margot Boyd to act as a trustee of the Mount Pleasant Group of Cemeteries (MPGC) at a meeting attended by about 20 persons on Dec. 18. The election is not recognized by the cemetery board. The action is part of the running battle based on the insistence by some Torontonians that the cemetery is really an Ontario Crown Corporation and subject to public review. The cemetery board says however that its status was converted to that of a simple corporation in 1871 and has followed the Ontario Corporations Act since it came into being in 1907.
