Summary
Jayesh Prajapati was a newcomer to Canada and a great friend of the community who worked at the Shell station located at Roselawn and Marlee Avenue.
Dedicating the Garden on the York Beltline extension, south of Roselawn from Marlee Avenue to the Allen Expressway, would honour his memory and serve as a good reminder to the local residents of the kindness that Jayesh bestowed on everyone who knew him.
