As the city filed it

City Council adopted the Commemorative Framework at its July 2022 meeting. The Framework provides guidance to the public, Elected Officials, and City staff regarding the commemorative naming and renaming of streets and City properties, and the consideration of proposals for new and existing commemorative monuments. The subject naming proposal was submitted by Ward 16 (Don Valley East) City Councillor Jon Burnside. The proposal seeks to name a new park located at 40 Grenoble Drive as "Vanessa Rose Park." This proposal has garnered significant support from long-time residents and community members who either collaborated directly with Vanessa Rose or recognize her substantial impact on the communities of Don Valley West, Thorncliffe Park, and Flemingdon Park.
