About the Society
Our Mission
The Cadogan Cemeteries Society is steadfastly committed to the restoration, preservation, and perpetual care of the historical cemetery serving Cadogan, Alberta, and its surrounding region.

Our Board and Volunteers
The Society is guided by a dedicated volunteer board composed of local residents, descendants of pioneer families, and history enthusiasts. We have no paid administrative staff; every effort given to the cemetery is an act of volunteerism motivated by deep respect for our community's heritage.
Our board oversees the coordination of seasonal maintenance, the long-term strategic preservation plan for aging monuments, and the painstaking process of digitizing and maintaining historical interment records for public genealogical access.
