MississaugaFacility Naming: Policy Statement City Facilities are named by Council, based on specific criteria and, where applicable, in consideration of any public comment. Initial Naming of a Facility Proposed Names Anyone may propose a name for a Facility. If the proposed name is in honour of an individual, the request must be accompanied by a written biography, including a description of the individual’s contribution to Mississauga or the Facility and an explanation of why the honour should be given. Heritage Properties Heritage properties will be named in accordance with this policy and the following additional requirements: • If the property is listed or designated as a heritage property, Heritage Planning staff will consult with the Heritage Advisory Committee as required to confirm the preferred name from a heritage perspective (e.g. original owner or builder; prominent owner; original property name) • When a property is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, any sponsorship naming opportunity will acknowledge the heritage of the property Selection Criteria All suggested names will be considered, unless the name: • Duplicates another existing name • Will cause confusion due to similarity to another existing name • Is meaningful only to a limited number of people, and/or • Detracts from the image of the City in light of generally prevailing community standards Unless a sponsorship or donation agreement specifically states what the Facility will be named, preference is given to names which: • Have a direct relationship with the Facility - i.e. reflect the geographical location of the Facility • Recognize the historical significance of the area - i.e. reflect the history of the area • Honour the original inhabitants of the Facility by using the family name or the name used by the original inhabitants to describe the Facility • Reflect unique characteristics of the site, such as ecological or scenic qualities • Are in keeping with a specific theme • Recognize the donation or sponsorship contribution of an individual or organization to the particular Facility when an agreement is not in place, or • Honour, a minimum of one year posthumously, an individual who has, for example, made significant positive contributions to their local community, the City of Mississauga, the Province of Ontario or Canada Note: Any member of Council may direct staff to investigate the appropriateness of a Naming or Dedication in honour of a living individual. Based on staff’s recommendation, Council may waive the requirement that recognition be posthumous. However, a Facility may not be named in honour of an elected official at any government level, school trustee, etc. unless the official has retired from public service. Renaming a Facility Generally, changing the name of an existing Facility will not be considered. However, if it is deemed appropriate to change the name of a Facility, a name will be selected using the same criteria and process used for Naming. Dedication Dedications are limited to part of a Facility, such as a room within a community centre or specific garden or feature within a park. Generally, a Dedication is an honour reserved for those actions or achievements that meet the policy criteria. Where applicable, a written biography of the individual, including a description of the individual’s contribution to Mississauga or the Facility, and an explanation of why the honour should be given, will be required. The selection criteria are the same as that for Naming. The Commissioner of Community Services will consult with the respective ward councillor and the Mayor will then be notified of the recommended name. At the meeting scheduled to ratify the name, the Commissioner, Community Services presents a corporate report to the Committee outlining the recommended name. The Committee considers the staff recommendation and may accept the recommended name, propose an alternate or defer a decision until public comment has been solicited through appropriate media or a public meeting, if deemed appropriate. Note: Where a Dedication is deemed unsuitable, the request may be referred to Communications, Corporate Services Department for consideration of recognition under the City’s Civic Recognition Program policy. Street Names: Policy Statement Street names within the City of Mississauga are reviewed by a regional street names committee prior to final approval and can only be changed after consideration of public comments. Purpose This policy identifies the process for naming new private and public streets and, for the purpose of honouring an individual, naming bridges; specific standards which must be met; and the requirements for changing a street name.

The City’s representatives on the committee are a Transportation and Works Department staff person and a Fire and Emergency Services, Community Services Department staff person. The Region of Peel Street Names Committee attempts to minimize the potential for confusion within the region, particularly in the provision of emergency services and considers the following when making its recommendation: Whether the name duplicates or is similar to another street name within the region The potential for spelling errors which could impact the use of computer-aided dispatch systems, and Ease of pronunciation The Region of Peel Street Names Committee reviews all names proposed for new streets and renaming of existing streets from a regional perspective and makes recommendations on whether the proposed names should be approved. The recommendations of this committee, as they relate to the City of Mississauga, are brought forward to Council for approval. A fee in accordance with the current Transportation and Works Fees and Charges By-law 247- 15, as amended, is required for a street name assignment or change. New Street Names Names for new streets may be proposed by developers or members of the public.

Proposed street names which discriminate against people based on a protected ground of the Ontario Human Rights Code will not be permitted. Proposed street names must not: Adversely impact on the City’s identity Minimize and/or detract from the image of the City and/or its employees In light of generally prevailing community standards, be likely to cause deep or widespread offence, or Be named after a business or industry, as this may be construed as advertising The suggested names are received by Transportation and Works Department staff. Names which are known to conflict with existing street names are rejected immediately. All other names are referred to the Region of Peel Street Names Committee.

Based on staff's recommendation, Council may waive the requirement that recognition of an individual be posthumous, and No street or bridge may be named after an elected official, unless the official has retired from public service Tree and Bench Donation Program: Policy Statement Residents and organizations may make a contribution to a City park, cemetery, woodlot or greenbelt area as a tribute to an individual or group through the Tree and Bench Donation Program.

New road names shall be established on, and by, the recordation of a subdivision plat, parcel plat, or other county-approved development plat, with those names having first obtained approval from the Addressing Official. 1. Mohave County may correct road names when necessary, without consent of the property owners along the road alignment, if it involves correcting a 911 emergency response problem. b. Proposals to re-name a road shall require an application from the person proposing the road re-naming, to the attention of the Addressing Official, for their consideration. Such application shall include a map that shows the location of the road, its extent, and shall be accompanied by appropriate re-naming fees, and letters from all utilities, service providers (i.e., fire district, etc.), and all property owners who would be affected by the name change. It shall be the responsibility of the person proposing the road re-naming to contact all utilities, service providers and property owners as a part of their application to re-name a roadway.
