Sacred memorial will recognize drownings of three children in a Shannon Road pond that was later filled in and turned into Snowdon Park
An area dedicated to children who drowned in what is now Snowdon Park will be known as the Every Child Matters Sacred Memorial, city council agreed Monday night.
"A large rock located in the middle of the benches will share the history of the park," McLeod says in a report prepared for Mayor Matthew Shoemaker and councillors Earlier this year, the Children of Shingwauk Alumni Association asked that Snowdon Park be renamed Memorial Park. Ashton Snowdon was very much a mover and shaker in the city prior to his death in the early sixties: a major figure in the establishment of the Plummer Hospital and the Davey Home and a longstanding member of the school board.
