stated Blais in a press release. “Norman Edwards served as reeve of the former CumberlandTown- ship in the 1940s and the Edwards family contin- ues to farm the land today. A new park at the intersection of Portobello Boulevard and Sunshine Crescent in the Sum- merside neighbourhood of Orléans will bear Norman Edwards’name. A park already located on Forest Lea Drive in Navan has been without a proper name for some time but will now be named after the Cottons. “The late Syd Cotton was an early organizer of the Navan Fair and was instrumental in devel-

oping the Ayrshire breed of cattle,” Blais stated. “Verna Cotton is a pillar of our community and is Cumberland Township’s and Navan’s official historian.” The two heritage naming proposals came from Robert Edwards, sole surviving member of the immediate Edwards family, and the Navan

Women’s Institute on behalf of the Cotton family. Letters of support and a petition accompanied the proposal. The City of Ottawa Commemorative Naming Committee accepted the proposals on May 11 and they are now open for public comment as part of the 60-day consultation period.

Navan | Syd and Verna Cotton will be re m e m - bered in Nava for generations to co m e thanks to a heritage park designation plan. Cumberland Ward Coun. Stephen Blais an- nounced that two naming proposals for neigh- bourhood parks to honour pioneer families are moving ahead in his constituency.

A walkout or daylight basement floorplan is a plan for a lot that slopes. These plans provide access to the rear yard from the basement level. A walkout is highly desirable, adds value, natural light and much more living space. Best of all, a Woodfield home in Morris Village offers great value: comparable homes in Ottawa are at least $90,000 more. When others invite you to compare... we accept the challenge! After all...seeing is believing.
