A plaque, commemorating the establishment of Nutana Cemetery by the pioneers of Saskatoon, was erected by the City of Saskatoon and the Meewasin Valley Authority. It reads:

"PIONEER CEMETERY
Saskatoon's first cemetery was established in 1884, a year after the community was established. It remained in use until 1909 and thereafter only for those who had already established plots. Among the gravestones still standing are those commemorating:

Robert Clark, whose death in 1884 from exhaustion while fighting a prairie fire was the first in the community;

Grace Fletcher, Saskatoon's first business woman and a campaigner for women's rights;

Edward Meeres, who lost his life in 1888 in a blizzard in what is now the centre of Nutana.

Members from many of Saskatoon's notable pioneer families are buried here. In 1969, a number of graves were moved to Woodlawn Cemetery because of riverbank slumping." (1)

(1) This appears to be in error as the records at Woodlawn Cemetery indicate that these graves were moved within Nutana Cemetery, not moved to Woodlawn. This monument was created to replace a metal sign, which was attached to a post, that had the same wording, but was subject to vandalism. The cemetery officials have been made aware of this inaccuracy.
