We were surprised to learn 
on May 22 that our City Councillor Moise renamed Shuter-Sumach parkette, without consulting with Trefann Court residents. Here is Moise’s motion that was approved by City Council. Persons who grew up in Regent Park and Trefann Court and who are familiar with its long history of community activism, were also shocked by this stealth renaming. No chance to voice our input, since no deputations on this motion were allowed at community council. The city ignored its own “Property Naming Policy” and “Guiding Principles for Commemoration“. No signs were posted at the park to inform the neighbourhood of this potential name change.
CBC interviewed a few Trefann Court residents on May 31.
If you’re concerned about the Councillor’s lack of local neighbourhood consultation prior to his recommendation for the parkette’s new name, please sign our petition.
