Summary
On June 26, 2024, City Council requested through item MM19.6 that the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, and the General Manager, Transportation, in consultation with the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture review opportunities to name or rename an existing or planned location, such as a park, street, trail or other landmark in honour of the late Councillor Jaye Robinson.
Parks and Recreation worked with Strategic Partnerships and consulted with the local Councillor to identify a parcel of land within Lawrence Park Ravine as an appropriate location to commemorate the life, long-standing public service, activism and lasting impact of the late Councillor Jaye Robinson.
