The Blake Funeral Chapel Memorial Grove is located on the Neebing McIntyre Floodway, beginning at the mouth of the Neebing River, and moving west from that point following the river along its banks as far as the Lakehead Regional Conservation Authority's property extends. In recent years, many of the trees were planted in the Mission Marsh area.
The Grove began in 1990, at which time the initial service of dedication was held. During the dedication service, the memory of all those families who had been served by the Blake Funeral Chapel were memorialized, and each year following, a similar service has taken place to ensure everyone is remembered. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Beginning in 2014, the Blake Funeral Chapel entered into an agreement with the City of Thunder Bay Parks Division. Trees will now be planted in parks throughout the city. Unfortunately, in 2020 the agreement with the City was discontinued, and we have not been able to secure a partner to keep the program going.
