Township in an area holding only a few farm houses. He designed a full City
with places of employment, schools, churches, shopping areas and a Town Centre
all incorporated within open space and connection to nature before the first
home was constructed. His first housing community, Beaverbrook, set an example
of a “garden city” that successfully integrated residential home design with
the natural environment and served as fertile grounds for future communities,
business incubation and civic growth; and
WHEREAS Bill was also passionate about the power of community
greenspaces, making a conscious decision that much of the land would remain in
a natural state and this concept was fervently adopted by early residents who
put the plan into practice after his company was taken over by others by
protecting those natural areas; and
WHEREAS, in addition to his development-related work, Bill was one
of the founding trustees of the National Arts Centre and served as the Chair
and President of the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation at the request of
Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau; and

acknowledgment of his many contributions, including his appointment as an Officer of the
Order of Canada, the Jane Jacobs Lifetime Achievement Award, a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, and Doctor of Laws honoris causa from
Carleton University; and
WHEREAS the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association has requested
that the Kanata Town Centre Core Park, located at 6301 Campeau Drive, an area
that Bill loved, be named in honour of Bill Teron; and
WHEREAS the City’s Commemorative Naming Policy, approved by Council
on July 24, 2002, outlines the criteria and process for commemoratively naming
municipal streets, parks and facilities (or parts thereof), and provides for
Council to assign a commemorative name by resolution, in keeping with its
powers set out in the Municipal Act, 2001; and
WHEREAS the name Bill Teron has been vetted through Emergency
Services and does not pose any concerns with respect to name duplication;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that City Council approve that the Kanata
Town Centre Core Park, located at 6301 Campeau Drive, be named “Parc Bill Teron
Park”.
