The city is inviting residents to take part in the development of Tony Proudfoot Park by answering online polls on Pointe-Claire, It’s Who We Are and by attending a public consultation Feb. 28 at Pointe-Claire City Hall.

Tony-Proudfoot Park will be developed at the intersection of Gendron and Des Frênes Avenues in the Greenwich neighbourhood, behind the FP Innovations building on St-Jean Blvd. near Hymus Blvd.

The new park will include walking paths and universally accessible equipment for playgrounds and rest areas for children aged 2 to 12.

The city is asking citizens through its online website how to pay tribute to Proudfoot, the former CFL football player who won a pair of Grey Cups with the Montreal Alouettes in 1974 and 1977.

Proudfoot, a longtime Pointe-Claire resident, died at age 61 in 2010 after battling ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease.
