  • 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!
