ONTARIO’S Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown, Councillors and members of the community gathered on Tuesday to unveil the renaming of the city’s Troyers Park to Shri Bhagavad Gita Park.

“Brampton is a Mosaic, and this renaming commemorates the Hindu community and all they contribute to our city,” said the City.

The 3.7 acre park was approved on August 26 by Brampton City Council.

The park will be landscaped and have sculptures of Lord Krishna and Arjuna on a chariot, the two main characters of the Gita, besides some other Hindu deities.

Speaking at the event, Brown said: “I believe in the teachings of the Gita. We are very grateful to the Hindu community and this park is a symbol of that friendship.”
