The debate about what to do with the land at the centre of Canada's largest serial murder investigation is now being rekindled.

The Port Coquitlam, B.C. farm where the victims of Robert Willie Pickton met their fate currently sits empty, but now supporters of Vancouver's missing women say at least part of the property should become a memorial park.

About two dozen people gathered today to discuss the park concept at the gates of the land where cows now graze.

A group called Partners in Care Alliance (PICA), representing B.C. funeral directors and clergymen, is suggesting the 14 acre property should be designated as not-for-profit public cemetery.

But according to PICA's website, any money generated from the proposed site would be donated to its own missing women's fund and new cemetary projects.

The group argues cemetery land in Canada is "nearly non-existent."

Prostitution rights activist Jamie Lee Hamilton says the land is a cemetery and should be treated with dignity.

But victim's families aren't as convinced.

"This is a ghoulish type of place where these women met an untimely death," Rick Frey, father of victim Marnie Frey, tells CTV News from Seyward, B.C. "I have no reason to go back there for a memorial."

The property -- which is located about 40 kilometres east of Vancouver -- is still designated as agricultural land, but the surrounding property has been rezoned for big box stores and condos.

The B.C. government has a lien on the property for $10 million as part of the Pickton defense fund. The cost of the investigation is estimated to be upwards of $70 million.

Port Coquitlam's mayor says the city has not been approached with a proposal to use the land for a memorial. Greg Moore says they would have to have all the family's approval, as well as public hearings, before going ahead with such a proposal.

B.C. Attorney General Wally Oppal told CTV News he can't talk about government plans for the land because Pickton's case is still in front of the courts.

The former pig farmer was sentenced last December to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years after he was convicted of six counts of second-degree murder.

He still faces the possibility of trial on another 20 counts of first-degree murder. An appeal hearing is tentatively scheduled for nine days in Vancouver starting March 30, 2009.
