Governance Review Report, Council approved an amendment to the Commemorative
Naming Policy directing that “in memoriam” naming proposals be referred to
the City programs designed for that purpose (Memorial Tree Program, Memorial Park
Bench Program, etc.) and as a result, this naming proposal does not fit within
the Policy criteria; and
WHEREAS the Commemorative Naming Policy provides an exception
allowing Council to assign a commemorative name by resolution, in keeping with
its powers set out in the Municipal Act, 2001;
AND WHEREAS the name has been vetted through Emergency Services and
does not pose concerns with respect name duplication;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Ottawa City Council approve that the
rugby field at Ken Ross Park, located at 600 Longfields Drive, be named “Rowan’s
Pitch / terrain de rugby de Rowan” in honour of Rowan Stringer.

dedicated to victims of impaired driving, such as a garden, bench or stone
monument; and

the chapter wishes to establish a memorial for those killed or injured by an
impaired driver in the Ottawa area. This would also be a place that victim

WHEREAS it has been determined by the City that the fountain on the
Laurier side of City Hall is available to be dedicated to MADD Ottawa; and
WHEREAS MADD Ottawa would pay for the marker and the installation;

install a small memorial marker at the site of the fountain at City Hall and
that the Public Works Department continue to maintain the fountain as part of
its existing maintenance program for Ottawa City Hall.

WHEREAS The proliferation of e-book devices and the increased
availability of e-content have led to a greater number of Ottawans wanting to
borrow e-books and e-magazines from their public library; and
WHEREAS public libraries, including the Ottawa Public Library are
often unable to secure the e-book resources that are available to the general
public, or are only able to secure them for limited periods of time and/or at
significantly greater expense than the general public; and
WHEREAS the Ottawa
Public Library Board is committed to providing Ottawa residents with equitable
and accessible public library service that provides universal access to a broad
range of human knowledge, information and ideas in all its forms; and
WHEREAS refusing
to sell e-books or e-magazines to public libraries or imposing other terms that
unreasonably increase costs undermines Ottawa Public Library's ability to serve
Ottawans and are not the answer to a healthy publishing industry;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that City Council through the Mayor send a
letter to the Department of Canadian Heritage and Industry Canada asking the
federal government to include an examination of publishers’ restrictive
practices in making e- books and e-magazines available to public libraries,
including the higher prices charged to public libraries, in any upcoming
statutory review of the Copyright Act.
