The relocation of a number of at-risk graves in the Battleford Cemetery begun last year is continuing this spring.
"At the moment, crews are out in the Battleford cemetery," said Mayor Derek Mahon at Monday's town council meeting.
Phase one and part of phase two were completed last year and more phase two work is underway now.
Mahon said any affected family members with questions or concerns were encouraged to contact the Town.
"The project has gone very well to date and seems to be going very well this spring as well," he said.
The graves being moved are among those at risk from slope instability in the northwest corner of the cemetery, which is perched along the bank of the North Saskatchewan River valley. The relocation of the graves is being undertaken by Eternal Memories Funeral Service and Crematorium, a local company.
The graves affected are mainly those of pioneers of the area and North West Mounted Police members who died in the 1800s to early 1900s.
The Town was approved for a half million dollars in 2014 under the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program to be put toward mitigating the cemetery's slump issues.
