Lest we forget

Riverside Memorial Park was named to honour the men and women from the Overbrook community who served in the First and Second World Wars.

In 2013, the park was developed into a place for all to gather in freedom to enjoy the community and the nature that surrounds it.

N'oublions jamais

Le Parc commémoratif Riverside a été choisi pour rendre hommage aux hommes et femmes de la communauté Overbrook qui ont servi pendant la Première et Seconde guerres mondiales.

En 2013, le parc a été transformé en un lieu de recueil où les gens sont libres de profiter de la communauté et de la nature qui l'entoure.

THOUGH Colonel By was undoubtedly
the most notable resident of this
property, these grounds were eventually
named for his successor, Major Daniel
Bolton. With the completion of the
Rideau Canal, the military reserve gave
way to stately trees and meandering
pathways, and Major's Hill became a
popular retreat form the bustle of the lumber town.

[second part of plaque/deuxième partie de la plaque]

BIEN que le colonel By soit, sans conteste, le
plus connu des résidents de l`endroit, la colline
a été baptisée d`après le titre de son successeur,
le major Daniel Bolton. Avec la fin des travaux
du canal Rideau, le rôle du domaine militaire a
diminué. La
«colline du Major» couverte d`arbres majestueux et de sentiers sinueux est alors« Rex »devenue un endroit ou les habitants venaient« Rex »chercher un peu de tranquillité dans une ville en pleine effervescence.

AS the city's first official park, Major's
Hill was a favourite place for people to
stroll or picnic and seemed destined,
even then, to become an important
green space.

EN tant que premier parc officiel
de la ville le parc Major`s Hill était
l`endroit idéal pour se promener ou
pique-niquer. Déjà à l`époque, il semblait
être destiné à devenir un espace vert
important.

[second part of plaque/deuxième partie de la plaque]

MAJOR`S HILL PARK stands out today
as a tranquil oasis in the midst of a
modern capital city. With its colourful
past and promising future, Major's Hill
Park remains a treasured meeting place
for all Canadians

LE PARC MAJOR`S HILL dit parc Major,
est aujourd`hui une oasis paisible au
milieu d`une capitale moderne. Du fait
de son passé intéressant et de son avenir
prometteur il reste un lieu privilégié
pour tous les Canadiens.
