Source: "Twenty years ago, after a large number of gravestones had been knocked over by weather and vandals, officials of Shaarey Zedek Synagogue met with seven descendants...and a legal transaction was made to transfer the responsibility to the synagogue."

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:31, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Location

All the sources say the cemetery was founded in Transcona. Maybe later the area was called North Kildonan, but not when it was founded. I have reverted edits by an IP. Yoninah (talk) 21:22, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
