Brett from Cemeteries

Brett Shenback is the Cemeteries Administrator within the Planning, Property & Development department. He began his career in urban planning and city building for those living in Winnipeg. One path led to another, and now he plans for those no longer with us. There are three cemeteries that he and his team manage: St. Vital, Transcona, and Brookside. While they all hold significance, Brookside is the showstopper and a National Historic Site. It is home to one of the largest Fields of Honour in Canada, and includes a Tear Drop islet, Stone of Remembrance, and Cross of Sacrifice. There are several other monuments on the grounds, each telling its own special story. Brett talks about different cultural practices, burial traditions, and innovations like natural or green burials. He encourages everyone to think about how they want to be laid to rest and the peace of mind that decision can bring. If you find yourself near any of the city cemeteries, take a walk through and enjoy the serenity of the space. 

This podcast is recorded in Treaty One Territory, the home and traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Ininew, and Dakota peoples, and in the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. We acknowledge that our drinking water comes from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, in Treaty Three Territory.

Brett, des Cimetières 


Brett Shenback est l’administrateur des cimetières du Service de l’urbanisme, des biens et de l’aménagement. Il a commencé sa carrière en urbanisme à bâtir Winnipeg pour les personnes qui y vivent. Ces jours-ci, sa carrière est axée sur les personnes qui y reposent. Son équipe et lui gèrent trois cimetières : le cimetière de Saint-Vital, le cimetière de Transcona et le cimetière Brookside. Bien que les trois cimetières soient importants, le cimetière Brookside, un lieu historique national, est un vrai bijou. Il abrite l’un des plus grands champs d’honneur du Canada et est doté d’un îlot en forme de larme, de la Pierre du Souvenir et de la Croix du Sacrifice. On y retrouve également plusieurs autres monuments, chacun racontant sa propre histoire. Brett nous parle de différentes pratiques culturelles et traditions liées aux enterrements, ainsi que d’innovations comme les enterrements écologiques. Il encourage les membres du public à réfléchir à la façon dont ils veulent être enterrés, et explique que cette décision peut leur permettre d’avoir l’esprit tranquille. Si jamais vous vous trouvez à proximité des cimetières municipaux, allez vous y promener et profitez de la sérénité qui y règne.


Ce balado est enregistré sur le territoire visé par le Traité no 1, le berceau et territoire traditionnel des peuples anishinaabe, ininew et dakota, et les terres ancestrales nationales des Métis de la Rivière-Rouge. Nous reconnaissons que notre eau potable provient de la Première Nation Shoal Lake, no 40, qui est située sur le territoire visé par le Traité no 3.
