Public Input Requested Proposed Park Naming

January 26, 2005 (No. 7) - The Vancouver Park Board is considering a request to name the diminutive parksite at Redbud and Vine Streets, Rosemary Brown Park. A sign has been erected on the .12 hectare park site to solicit community input on the suggested name.

Rosemary Brown, former Provincial Member of the Legislative Assembly, served as the Vancouver Burrard Representative from 1972-1979. Ms. Brown died in April 2003 and the parksite proposed for naming falls within her former riding.

The public may submit any comments regarding this naming suggestion by February 14th, 2005 to:
