Summary
On June 30, 2022 the Scarborough Community Council requested through item 2022.SC33.61 that the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, in consultation with the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation report on the feasibility of establishing a permanent memorial in Scarborough honouring Grant Faulkner’s memory, such as a parkette in his name.
Economic Development and Culture and Parks, Forestry and Recreation worked with Strategic Partnerships, and the local Councillor to consult with the Faulkner Family to identify the proposed park at 320 Markham Road as an appropriate location to commemorate the life and lasting impact of Grant Faulkner.
In accordance with the City of Toronto Property Naming Policy, Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff produced and posted a temporary sign at 320 Markham Road advising the local community and park users of the request to name the proposed park.
