If you want to know something more about stone carvers, the Burlington Library has teamed up with local historian Robin McKee in a unique presentation.

Mr. McKee, who conducts cemetery tours through the Hamilton Cemetery on York Boulevard, will be highlighting the stone carvers and sculptures in a tour Sept. 27. The theme follows the Burlington Library's One Book program this fall that is focusing on Canadian author Jan Urquhart's seminal work "The Stone Carvers."

Mr. McKee will explain the involvement of Walter Allward, and his designs which are presented in the Hamilton Cemetery. Mr. Allward, a sculpture, designed the Vimy Ridge Memorial in France. The two-hour tour which begins at 1 p.m. at the cemetery, will also present information about gravesite art, architecture and symbolism, along with a few intriguing mysteries.
