Administration

The Administration received an application from Stantec Consulting Ltd. to name roads located in the South Terwillegar Neighbourhood as “Scott Crescent,” “Scott Place,” “Stein Way,” “Smith Way,” “Simpson Drive,”“Sloane Court,” and “Sloane Crescent.” All names were selected from the Names Reserve List.

Names Advisory Committee

Motion:Yeudall, Fleming

The Names Advisory Committee recommends using the name ‘Stein’ to replace ‘Smith’ as submitted by Stantec Consulting Ltd. based on the following reasons:

1)Dr. Don Smith has had a swimming pool in the Kinsmen Centre named in his honour.

2)The name “Smith” maybe confused with former City of Edmonton Mayor Bill Smith.”

The Names Advisory Committee recommends the naming of roads located in the South Terwillegar Neighbourhood as “Scott Crescent,” “Scott Lane” “Stein Way,” “Stein Lane,” “Simpson Drive,” “Sloane Court,” and “Sloane Crescent.” All names were selected from the Names Reserve List.

The recommendation complies with Section 5.03 (b) (ii) of City Policy C480A which states the following:

Where the road configuration does not lend itself to numbering by reason of inherent confusion arising from extreme directional variations in the road alignment.

Roads in the neighbourhood have been previously named. To number the proposed roads would not, in the opinion of the Names Advisory Committee, provide added value to the future residents, delivery of services, and the public. There is no context or relationships with other numbered streets in the subdivision.

For the Motion:Brown, Cavaliere, Fleming, Yeudall

Carried unanimously

Biographies

Scott, Frank (?-1937)

FrankScott was born in Scotland and came to Edmonton 1879. FrankScott was known early on as "the old Hudson's Bay man" for his history in working for the company at one of the first posts in Edmonton, near the Peace River. In 1881, the Hudson's Bay Company had him start a post on the prairie to try to beat "Twelve Foot" Davis to the best of the furs the Beaver Indians trapped on the prairie. Four years later, Mr.Scott took up arms to defend Edmonton from the Riel Rebellion. He was a Public School Board Trustee from 1920 to 1923. In 1922, he was the School Board Chairman. As a school board trustee, he motioned that all military drills be eliminated from Edmonton Public Schools (the motion failed) and in 1923, that the schools adopt an improved salary schedule for teachers (motion passed). In 1923, the trustees voted to name a school after him, but in 1925 the Eastwood residents protested and eventually the school was renamed to Eastwood School.

Stein, Allan (1948-1994)

After graduation AllanStein became a founding member of Film West Associates and began an award winning career as a film-maker. Stein produced and directed the 1987 docu-drama "Shooting Stars: The Amazing Story of the Edmonton Grads." "Shooting Stars" is a film about the Edmonton Commercial Grads, the world famous women's basketball team of the 1920s and 1930s. Stein served as President of the Alberta Motion Picture Industries Association and taught classes at the University of Alberta. In 1990, he turned his talents to radio broadcasting. AllanStein was President of the Alberta Union of Students and served as a member of the Worth Commission on Education.

Simpson, Sir George (1792-1860)

SirGeorgeSimpson was born in Loch Broom, Ross-Shire, Scotland. Simpson's formal education did not extend beyond his parish school, where he had instruction in reading, English grammar, arithmetic and geography. He may have also learned some elementary Latin and/or Greek.

For 40 years, Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, GeorgeSimpson was, to a great measure, responsible for the opening of the West during the fur trade period. He was the most influential man in the Hudson's Bay Company's history. He encouraged the advancement and exploration of river routes across Western Canada and the building of trails to new fur trade areas.

His tireless energy and ability to deal with men soon had the Company running more efficiently and economically than ever before. He rightly assumed that the most effective economizing involved a revision of the transport system. Boats replaced canoes almost entirely. He was a true pioneer and history-maker who was referred to as "Emperor," and in 1839, Simpson's efforts on behalf of the Hudson's Bay Company were recognized by the British Government, and he was knighted.
