Proposal to rename Burlington park
CHML
7/31/2012

The City of Burlington is asking for some feedback.

It wants the public's opinion on the proposed renaming of a park on Elgin Street to Apeldoorn Park --- in honour of Burlington's twin city in the Netherlands.

Canadian soldiers liberated Apeldoorn in April of 1945 --- and the Dutch city subsequently held massive parades every five years to honour its heroes.  Burlington officials believe renaming Elgin Park would recognize that bond of friendship and gratitude.

Those with an opinion can access an online questionnaire at burlington.ca
