Jean E. Pigott Memorial Garden

The garden dedicated to Jean E. Pigott occupies a place on the southwest corner of Murray Street and Mackenzie Avenue.

This floral garden is dedicated to
Jean E. Pigott

"Ottawa is Every Canadian's second home town."

Jean E. Pigott, proud Ottawan, proud Canadian and business woman extraordinaire, played a leadership role in the development of the capital of Canada as chairman of the National Capital Commission from 1984 to 1992.

As a capital builder, she espoused the importance of symbols in the Capital and their representation of the country. She crystallized a vision of the Capital as a national meeting place, a medium for communicating Canada to Canadians and a place where national treasures are safeguarded forever.

Dedicated to Jean E. Pigott, June 4, 2004, by Marcel Beaudry, Chairman of the National Capital Commission

« Ottawa, c'est comme un deuxième

chez-soi pour tous les Canadiens. »

Canadienne de marque, fière Ottavienne et femme d'affaires exceptionnelle, Mme Jean E. Pigott a été presidente de la Commission de la capitale nationale de 1984 à 1992. À ce titre, elle à joué un rôle de premier plan dans l'aménagement de la capitale du Canada.

En tant que « bâtisseuse » de la capitale; elle a reconnu l'importance des symboles de la capitale et de leur représentation du pays. Elle a su concrétiser la vision de la capitale comme lieu de rassemblemen pour l'ensemble du pays, comme moyen de faire connaître la capitale aux Canadiens et comme endroit où des trésors nationaux sont conservés pour les générations à venir.

Dédié à Mme Jean E. Pigott, le 4 juin 2004, par Marcel Beaudry, président de la Commission de la capitale nationale.

Korean War Cenotaph Revisited

The Korean War Cenotaph stands on the south west side of the former Ottawa Teachers' College on the northeast corner of Elgin Street and Lisgar Street. I posted pictures of this early on with this blog site before I had a decent handle on what I am doing (and I'm still learning.) I called it a war memorial back then. A cenotaph is a grave maker for which there is no body buried nearby. If a war memorial has names of the fallen on it, I consider it to be a cenotaph.

In memory of the Canadians who enlisted in the National Capital Region and made the supreme sacrifice for their country.

Murphy Park Plaque

In Smiths Falls, Ontario, southeast of the corner of Park Avenue and George Street South stands a building servicing Murphy Park. A plaque mounted on the wall of the building commemorates Murphy Park.

MURPHY PARK

Smiths Falls Hydro dedicates this Park, for the service of W. S. Murphy MD and W. O. Murphy MD. Father and Son, these two have served faithfully on the Hydro Commission for more than 47 years.

Dr. W. S. Murphy was reeve at the time and helped start the commission in 1918, later becoming chairman. Through his foresight Smiths Falls ventured into establishing the utility.

D. W. O. Murphy joined the hydro commission in 1957 and has served continuously as either Commissioner or Chairman to this date. His focus on the utility allowed its customers to enjoy some of the lowest rates in Ontario.

Dedicated on this date:
October 19, 1994

Mayor: L. Lee
Commissioner: R. Healey

Dr. William Samuel Murphy, February 12, 1882 – April 29, 1961, served as mayor of Smiths Falls from 1916 to 1918 and as a Member of Parliament, July 29, 1929 – July 27, 1930.

Dr. William Ormond Murphy, 1922 – 1999.
