Park in Bolton to be renamed to honour community leaders

Kingsview Park is to be renamed to Ruth and Richard Hunt Park to honour two Caledon residents who have served the Bolton community for almost 50 years, including environmental contributions and as active members of the Bolton & District Horticultural Society.

“Ruth and Richard have been a staple in our community as service leaders for as long as I can remember,” said Mayor Allan Thompson. “Their continued contribution to their community serves as inspiration to others, both young and old. This is another example of how we can all do our part to create a community that we are proud of.”

Ruth and Richard have both given back to the Bolton community in many ways since 1970. Their accomplishments include:

Founding and chairing the Bolton North Hill Residents Association
Coaching youth sports for over 10 years
Initiated, managed and maintained an outdoor skating & hockey rink at James Bolton School for 5 years with strong community volunteer support
Recipient of the Volunteer & Citizen Achievement Awards in 2007 & 2012
