City preparing parkette for plaque installation
You may notice city crews doing work this week at the downtown parkette along Main Street West, Algonquin Avenue and Cassells Street.
The city says they’re preparing for the installation of a plaque honouring the late George Maroosis, a long-serving former city councillor.
In 2025, council approved naming the parkette ‘The George Maroosis Parkette’, in his honour.
