MOTION
Moved

Seconded by Councillor Leiper
WHEREAS in 1940, during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in
the Second World War, the Dutch Royal Family was evacuated and offered a safe
refuge in Ottawa; and
WHEREAS in 1943 Crown Princess Juliana gave birth to her third
daughter, Princess Margriet, at the Ottawa Civic Hospital, making her the only
royal personage ever born in Canada; and
WHEREAS the Government of Canada temporarily declared a maternity
suite at the Ottawa Civic Hospital to be extraterritorial jurisdiction so the Princess
would inherit her Dutch Citizenship from her mother and remain in the line of
succession; and
WHEREAS in celebration of the Princess’ birth, the Government of
Canada flew the Dutch flag over the Parliament’s Peace Tower in Ottawa, the
only time in history a foreign flag has been accorded this honour; and
WHEREAS the Crown Princess Juliana and her daughters stayed in
Ottawa until the Liberation of the Netherlands in 1945, becoming a part of the
community; and
WHEREAS a deep and lifelong friendship was forged through the prominent
role that Canada played in ending the Dutch oppression under the Nazis; and
WHEREAS we remember that this relationship was forged in the courage
and sacrifice of more than 7,600 Canadian soldiers, sailors and airmen who died
fighting for the Liberation of the Netherlands; and
WHEREAS every year since the war, the Netherlands has sent thousands
of tulips to Ottawa, in appreciation of Canada’s sacrifice and for providing
safe harbour to the Dutch Royal family; and
WHEREAS the Canadian Tulip Festival was established in 1953 to
celebrate the historic gift of tulips from the Dutch Royal Family; and
WHEREAS the Festival commemorates the crucial role that the Canadian
Armed Forces played in the Liberation of the Netherlands and Europe, as well as
the birth of Princess Margriet in Ottawa; and
WHEREAS 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the Liberation
of the Netherlands; and
WHEREAS the City of Ottawa hopes to build on our 75 years of
friendship with the people of the Netherlands by commemorating Ottawa’s special
connection with the Dutch Royal Family; and
WHEREAS both The Ottawa Hospital and the Canadian Tulip Festival are
in strong support of a commemoration in honour of Princess Margriet’s legacy
and as a symbol of our lifelong friendship with the people of the Netherlands;
and
WHEREAS Fairmont Park, located 350 meters from the Ottawa Hospital
Civic Campus, is a fitting tribute to Princess Margriet and the 75th
Anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Fairmont Park, located at 265 Fairmont
Avenue, be renamed the “Princess Margriet Park”; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that an appropriate plaque be installed in
the park displaying the name “Princess Margriet Park” and including a brief
history of the commemoration.
