Ottawa - The City of Ottawa Commemorative Naming Committee is conducting public consultations on five separate naming proposals to:
Grace Thompson Meeting Room – (Ward 6 – Stittsville)
In recognition of Grace Thompson’s historical relevance to the community of Stittsville, the City of Ottawa has been asked to name a meeting room in the Ottawa Public Library, Stittsville Branch, the “Grace Thompson Meeting Room”.
Grace Thompson was born on August 29, 1913. She was very involved in the community of Stittsville and was instrumental in the formation of many Stittsville societies that still exist today. Mrs. Thompson was also a historical author, having published many accounts of Stittsville’s historical roots and those of its founding families, including her own, dating back to the 1800’s.
Keen to contribute to her community, she helped form the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society (SGHS), the Goulbourn Township Historical Society, the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, and the Greely Players Theatre Group. She also volunteered with many organizations, including the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Women’s Missionary Society.

Mary Durling Park – (Ward 6 – Stittsville)
In recognition of Mary Durling’s extensive community service, the City of Ottawa has been asked to name Cypress Gardens Park located at 33 Elm Crescent in the community of Stittsville “Mary Durling Park”.
A longtime resident of Stittsville, Mary Durling was well known within the community where she canvassed and campaigned on behalf of numerous charities and foundations, in addition to donating her time through her own extensive volunteer efforts.
Named Stittsville Senior Citizen of the Year in 2009 for her contribution to Stittsville life through her charity work and as a member of the Ladies’ Auxilliary of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 618, since 1970), she was also a beloved member of the Legion’s Dart League, a faithful supporter and parishioner of Holy Spirit Catholic Parish, and could be seen at many local community events where she was considered by many to be the ‘heart and soul of Stittsville’ and an inspiration to those around her.

Lee Boltwood Park – (Ward 6 – Stittsville)
In recognition of Lee Boltwood’s extensive community service, the City of Ottawa has been asked to name a future park in the community of Stittsville “Lee Boltwood Park”.
Lee Boltwood and her husband moved to Ottawa in 1966 and settled in Stittsville in 1973, where her passion for gardening grew into an accreditation as a Certified Master Gardener. It is in this capacity that she has been an integral part of Stittsville life, providing gardening advice at venues including the Central Experimental Farm, Carp Farmers’ Market, Richmond Fair and many events in Stittsville’s own Village Square Park.
Aside from her passion for gardening, Ms. Boltwood has also served on the Boards of the Goulbourn Middle School Parents’ Council, Goulbourn Library and Goulbourn Historical Society.

Susanna Kemp Park – (Ward 6 – Stittsville)
In recognition of Susanna Kemp’s historical significance to the Stittsville community, the City of Ottawa has been asked to name a future park in the community of Stittsville, “Susanna Kemp Park”.
Born in 1807 in Tipperary, Ireland, Susanna Clarke emigrated with her parents to Canada in 1819. In 1827 she married William Kemp and a year later, they began to farm the land that William had received as a Free Grant Military Emigrant. Sadly, by 1841 at the age of 34, Susanna became a widow and was left to tend to the farm and to raise seven children on her own.
To help support her young family, Susanna began offering rooms and food to travellers in her log home. She was so prosperous that the 1861 census listed her occupation as ‘Innkeeper’. Their finely-crafted stone house still stands today as Cabotto’s Restaurant on Hazeldean Road. Susanna remained on her family’s land until her death in 1890. Her home is truly one of Goulbourn Township’s architectural gems.

Ronald Warren Baseball Diamond - (Ward 20 – Osgoode)
In recognition of Ronald Warren’s extensive community service and contributions to the development of the Kenmore Bi-Centennial Park, located on York’s Corners Road, the City of Ottawa has been asked to name Ball Diamond #1, the “Ronald Warren Baseball Diamond”.
Once an open field, Kenmore Park underwent the changes that were necessary to support a ball diamond. Ron Warren spearheaded its development, by arranging for tile drainage and he was instrumental in shaping and levelling the outfield to what it is today.
Through his fundraising efforts, Ron was also instrumental in the eventual construction of the gazebo-cantine building, washrooms, horseshoe pits and the second ball field.
