Drop Trudeau. He is too political. I think your list needs more focus — personally, I would also get rid of Watson. Ottawa has had mayors come and go. You need to look at real contributions! Bill Teron is an example. Also Gordon Reid — the founder of Giant Tiger (one of the last independent retail chains and amazingly successful. What about writers and artists — Francis Itani is an example.
By the way, Gird Reid is about 85. He still goes into work and buys all of his clothes at Giant Tiger —
Leonard Lee (Lee Valley Toois) was another Ottawa icon, but he has now died.
There are some important Ottawa architects — Sullivan? Another was recently featured in Ottawa magazine. Page back issues for ideas.
Excellent suggestions! Thanks!
I’m gonna add some stuff based on it! I’m just on the road now will do it tomorrow!
