Seconded byD. Brown
WHEREAS the construction contract for Riverside South Park 11 has been awarded, and construction of this much-needed community park commenced in September 2025; and,
WHEREAS the contractor has indicated that a confirmed park name is required by January 2026 in order to place the order for the park identification sign with the supplier; and
WHEREAS it is important for parks to have names with strong community connections and identities, rather than names that simply reflect the street on which they are located; and
WHEREAS Marcel and Linda Moncion, who are proud Franco-Ontarians, owned and operated the first retail business in Riverside South for more than a decade, becoming true pioneers of the modern Riverside South community and establishing a strong foundation for local economic and social life; and
WHEREAS the Moncion family has demonstrated exceptional community leadership through their long-standing support of youth sports teams, school fundraising initiatives, and community association events such as Canada Day celebrations, spring and fall community cleanings, Santa breakfasts, and wagon rides, as well as annual participation in the OC Transpo Food Bank drive; and
WHEREAS Moncion’s has provided significant employment opportunities in Riverside South, including hundreds of jobs for local youth, contributing meaningfully to early work experience, skills development, and long-term community engagement; and
WHEREAS Marcel Moncion was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012 in recognition of his outstanding community service and contributions to the well-being of residents; and
WHEREAS Marcel and Linda Moncion retired in 2021, and the Moncion family remains widely recognized for their generosity, early investment in Riverside South, and the role their store played as a vital community gathering place; and
WHEREAS the contractor timelines for the park identification sign do not align with the full Commemorative Naming Program process, creating an operational need for timely direction from Council;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Riverside South Park 11 be formally named Moncion’s Park; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the commemorative plaque and mounting be funded through the Ward Councillor’s office budget.
