The City of Barrie will name a Centennial Park pedestrian bridge after the late Osmond “Ossie” Rowe.

The decision was based on responses to an online survey, emails and phone calls and social media posts, according to a city staff report submitted to general committee Monday.

Although the majority of responses supported naming the bridge after the former city solicitor of nearly 50 years who was instrumental in the decision to create Centennial Park, one alternative suggestion stood out in the report.

“A suggestion of an alternate name for the pedestrian bridge – Bridgy McBridgeface,” it read.
