Ottawa - The City of Ottawa’s Commemorative Naming Committee is conducting public consultations on two separate naming proposals.
• Naming the front yard of Ottawa City Hall’s Heritage Building “Nelson Mandela Square.”
• Naming a new par located at 226 Leamington Way, “Foot Guards Park.”
Nelson Mandela Square – (Ward 14 - Somerset)
In recognition of Nelson Mandela’s lifelong devotion to democracy and equality, the City of Ottawa has been asked to name the front yard of Ottawa City Hall’s Heritage Building as “Nelson Mandela Square.”
Nelson Mandela was an internationally recognized leader who, from the age of 26 until his death at age 95, dedicated his life to the peaceful termination of the South African apartheid regime, laying the foundations for a new democratic South Africa, and the promotion of human rights and freedoms.
In 1993, Nelson Mandela received the Nobel Peace Prize for his work for the peaceful termination of the apartheid regime, and for laying the foundations for a new democratic South Africa. In 2001, Nelson Mandela became the first living person to be made an honorary Canadian citizen and the first foreign leader with membership in the Order of Canada.
In September 1998, Nelson Mandela visited the Human Rights Monument, in front of Ottawa City Hall’s Heritage Building, and unveiled a plaque honouring John Peters Humphrey.

Foot Guards Park – (Ward 22 – Gloucester South Nepean)
In recognition of their historical significance to the community, to the City of Ottawa and to Canada, the City of Ottawa has been asked to name a new park at 226 Leamington Way, “Foot Guards Park.”
The Governor General’s Foot Guards have served Canada since they were established on June 7, 1872 as the senior reserve infantry regiment in Canada. The Regiment is comprised of over 200 soldiers and officers, with three companies and a band.
Since 1879, the Regiment has been headquartered in Ottawa and, as such, the Foot Guards have been a fixture in the National Capital Region for over 141 years, providing a functional and ceremonial presence throughout the Ottawa area.
As an Army Reserve Unit of the 33rd Canadian Brigade Group, they were included in the ‘Freedom of the City’ given by Mayor Jim Watson earlier this year. It is very fitting therefore, to name this park ‘Foot Guards Park’ in the same year.
