The many tributes prompted by June Callwood’s death on April 14 are witnesses to her having been a very remarkable person. A few years from now people in the Fort York Neighbourhood will be privileged to have in their midst a striking reminder of her constructive compassion when the city park named in her honour is completed south of Fort York. The site for the park was dedicated in July, 2005, by Mayor Miller and Councillor Pantalone in the presence of June and her family. At her urging the park will be designed to suit particularly the very young and the elderly. (See Fife & Drum, August 2005 at <www.fortyork.ca>) The former Molsons Brewery on the Fleet Street end of the park site is being demolished currently, and CBM cement plant that straddles the northern part will be gone no later than August, 2009. At that point the public roads that flank the park between Fleet and Fort York Blvd., will be opened and the Parks department can set to work to develop this special space.
