Volunteers from the Ashcroft/Cache Creek Rotary and Lions Clubs worked to clean up Ashcroft's Chinese Cemetery on March 20.

Members of the Ashcroft/Cache Creek Rotary Club and the Ashcroft and District Lions Club joined forces to clean up the historic Chinese Cemetery in Ashcroft on March 20. Before (below) and after (top right) pictures show the work that was done, along with the group that carried out the cleaning (above). A locally-created glass mosaic commemorating the Chinese in Ashcroft, featuring Chinese dragons, will soon be installed at the site, and it is hoped that some seating can be put in place at the cemetery.
