Mississauga city council voted last month to rename Marco Muzzo Memorial Woods and Park, citing concerns from the community, and now, the sign has been updated to reflect that change.
The park was named after Marco Muzzo Sr., who was responsible for building most of the community which now surrounds the recreation area. It was dedicated in 2007 by then-mayor Hazel McCallion, two years after the death of the senior Muzzo.
The motion, put forward by Coun. Sue McFadden (Ward 10), called for the park to be renamed “Marco Muzzo Senior Memorial Woods and Park” to avoid any confusion with Muzzo’s grandson, who was sentenced in March to 10 years in prison for killing four people, including three children, in a drunk driving crash.
The name change took effect immediately, after council waived the required 30-day waiting period and community notification process.
