Historic Sites of Manitoba: Belmont Hillside Cemetery / Ninette Sanatorium Memorial Monument (RM of Prairie Lakes)

The Belmont Hillside Cemetery, one mile southwest of Belmont in the Rural Municipality of Prairie Lakes, contains a monument that was unveiled on 1 August 2010 in memory of those who died while being treated for tuberculosis at the Manitoba Sanatorium at Ninette. The monument was developed by the Rural Municipality of Strathcona with financial support from the Province of Manitoba, The Thomas Sill Foundation, and The Killarney Foundation. In addition, a few people who died at the Sanatorium were buried in the Ninette Cemetery.

Names on the Ninette Sanatorium Monument

The list of 318 names on the monument given below is incomplete because the Belmont Hillside Cemetery burial maps were destroyed in a fire in 1966. The list was compiled by Manitoba Health, including those whose deaths were recorded as having taken place at the Sanatorium. Those listed below were buried in Belmont Cemetery although others who died at the Sanatorium were buried in nearby cemeteries at Ninette or Dunrea, or at other places.

Manitoba Vital Statistics death registration data were compiled by Chris Irwin of Belmont.
