Description and Purpose


The Naming Committee approves names for municipal facilities, new neighbourhoods, parks, and roads. This involves input from both City administration and citizens.

The Development Services Branch, part of the Urban Form and Corporate Strategic Development Department, provides administrative services to the Naming Committee in the form of:

  • Researching names
  • Maintaining an inventory of names to be used in the future
  • Receiving requests from the public for names to be honoured
  • ​Creating and providing agendas to the Committee

Information about Serving on the Committee

Online applications to fill Committee vacancies are accepted in the annual December/January Recruitment Campaign.
