      <image:caption>There is some question as to the actual site of Père Maillard’s final resting place. There is evidence to suggest he was interred in the Old Burying Ground in Halifax, the town’s original cemetery. There are also reports that his remains were exhumed and re-interred across (or possibly under) what is now Spring Garden Road. A third account suggests that he was buried at St. Paul’s in Halifax’s Grand Parade. To date, there is no definitive evidence that confirms Père Maillard’s final resting place but efforts are underway to solve this mystery.</image:caption>
