City now accepting commemorative naming spring nominations

The nomination period runs from March 20 to May 1.

The City of Ottawa is now accepting spring nominations for the commemorative naming of municipal assets, including new streets, minor indoor and outdoor assets, major facilities and parks. This is your chance to honour the people, histories, and legacies that have shaped Ottawa’s community. The nomination period runs from March 20 to May 1.

All submitted proposals will be reviewed by the City and the Commemorative Working Group against established policy criteria.  Nominations that qualify will then undergo a minimum 30-day public consultation.

For minor assets, final decisions will be made by Recreation, Cultural, and Facility Services in consultation with the Ward Councillors. Major asset nominations will advance to the appropriate standing committee and Council for final consideration.

The next nomination period will take place from September 8 to October 20. For more information, visit the commemorative naming page or contact the commemorative naming team by email at namingottawa@ottawa.ca.
