The City of Ottawa’s Commemorative Naming Committee is conducting public consultation on the following naming proposals:
Les Lye (Ward 8 – College)
In recognition of his exceptional contribution to the Canadian entertainment and broadcasting industry, and his commitment as an active member of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the City of Ottawa has received a proposal to name the studio theatre at Meridian Theatres at Centrepointe, Les Lye Studio Theatre. Les Lye gained international attention for his 60-year comedic career in radio, television, film, print and stage. He was celebrated for creating lively, comical characters on CFRA radio, and is recognised from such hit TV shows such as Willy and Floyd and You Can’t do that on Television.
The multi-talented actor was no stranger to the stage, performing at both Ottawa Little Theatre and the Meridian Theatre at Centerpointe. In 2003, the Alliance of Canadian Cinema honored him with a lifetime achievement award. This commemorative naming proposal is a fitting tribute to a man whose iconic voice and face were central to Ottawa’s entertainment industry for six decades.
Rabbi Bulka Kindness (Ward 18 – Alta Vista)
In recognition of his significant public service and extraordinary impact, both locally in the community of Alta Vista and within the National Capital Region, the City of Ottawa has received a proposal to rename Featherston Park as Rabbi Bulka Kindness Park. Dr. Reuven Bulka has been the Rabbi of Congregation Machzikei Hadas since 1967, just beside the park on Virginia Drive.
Rabbi Bulka is the founder of Kind Canada, an Ottawa-based charity committed to spreading kindness. He is a member of the Community Advisory Board for Ottawa Integrative Cancer Centre and Chair of the Trillium Gift of Life Network. Past roles include Vice Chair of Pallium Canada, a charity based in Ottawa dedicated to improving palliative care in Canada, Chair of Bruyère Hospice Ottawa West Campaign, which raised $6 million to build a hospice in Kanata, and Chair of the Courage Campaign for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, which raised $25 million for cancer care.
Rabbi Bulka is a Member of the Order of Canada and has received the Key to the City of Ottawa and the Mayor’s Award for Community Service. This commemorative naming proposal seeks to celebrate Rabbi Bulka’s remarkable dedication and service to the community for the past 52 years, while his kindness continues to inspire.
Alfred McCoy (Ward 6 - Stittsville)
In recognition of his extensive community service and contributions to advancing recreation programs in Stittsville, the City of Ottawa has received a proposal to name the West Ridge Park B, Alfred McCoy Park.
Born in Goulbourn on what is now Mansfield Road, Mr. McCoy entered the trucking business at an early age. He transitioned to the road construction business, joining fellow Stittsville resident William J. Bell to form the McCoy-Bell Construction Company in the 1940s. The company eventually split, leading to the founding of the A.H. McCoy Construction Company Limited, which became one of the largest road building firms in Eastern Ontario.
In 1963 the Village of Stittsville passed a resolution to create The A.H. McCoy Park, but development pressures in the 1980s led to construction of the Carleton Apartments for seniors where the park was located. This commemorative naming proposal seeks to honour Alfred McCoy’s historical services and donations to the community of Stittsville.
Kathy Ablett (Ward 16 - River)
In recognition of her exceptional contribution to the Catholic School Board and Hunt Club Community, the City of Ottawa has received a proposal to name the seniors room in the Hunt Club Riverside Park Community Centre, the Kathy Ablett Room. Kathy Ablett began her professional life as a registered nurse in a family practice office in the Riverside Mall on Ridgewood Avenue.
While her children attended Holy Family School, Kathy organized parent-teacher activities, such as dances and fairs. Her increasing involvement in Board-related activities ultimately led to her election as a Catholic School Board Trustee, where she served for 27 years. Mrs. Ablett was also an active member in her community, serving as the President of the Hunt Club Community Association, Vice-Chair of the Ottawa Public Library Board, and President of the Family Practice Nurses Group. In 2009, Trustee Ablett was honoured with the Ontario Catholic School Trustees’ Association Award of Merit for her exceptional service to Catholic Education.
She received the Success by Six award from United Way Ottawa, in recognition of her efforts to provide education opportunities for young children. This commemorative naming proposal seeks to recognize Kathy Ablett’s exceptional service and dedication to the Catholic School Board and Hunt Club community.
