Cemetery Description: Dawes Road Cemetery was established in the 1890s and was the third Jewish cemetery in Toronto; the first burial was in 1898. The cemetery is comprised of individual sections serving 34 synagogues/organizations. * Sections 1 through 12 and 12A are located on the west side of Highvale Road (Cemetery Road). The sections are numbered sequentially from section 1 at the south (bordering Nancy Avenue) northward; section 12A is located behind the cemetery office. * Sections A through S are located on the east side of Highvale Road (Cemetery Road) and extend eastward approximately halfway towards Herron Avenue. The sections are numbered sequentially from section A at the north (bordering St. Clair Avenue East) southward; section S borders Nancy Avenue at the south. * Sections 101 through 115 are located east of sections A through S, bordering Herron Avenue at the east. The sections are numbered sequentially from section 101 at the north (bordering St. Clair Avenue East) southward. [The area which would be expected to be numbered section 116 is an eastern extension of section S.] Headstone photographs are available for most burials through 2012/2013 (and are in the process of being added to JOWBR). Please contact cemetery@JGSToronto.ca to request a headstone photograph; please provide the decedent's name, cemetery section (and sub-section, if applicable), and line and plot numbers. Headstone photographs for more recent burials can also be requested at this address and are anticipated to be fulfilled during the summer months.
