Saanich Parks has asked us to provide input into the naming of the new property donated by Mr. Brian Patriquin in his will. Our input is requested by mid-December so please share your comments and suggestions by emailing qchca3003@gmail.com no later than December 10.
The family has requested the name be Jenkins Pond and Saanich Parks has suggested Jenkins Pond Park. The actual park area will also include two further sections of land behind the four homes on the east side of Ascot adjacent to the Pond. Given the sensitivity of the ecosystem and the habitat and corridor it provides for wildlife, QCHCA and the Friends of Cedar Hill Park believe the ultimate name should reflect these facts – i.e. use of the words nature reserve or similar.
