Bill 66 2006

An Act to name

Highway 405

the General Brock Parkway

Preamble

Sir Isaac Brock (1769-1812) was a British soldier with a distinguished career behind him when he came to Canada in 1802 to take over command in Quebec. Subsequently, he moved to Upper Canada where he became Lieutenant Governor a few years

later.

If it hadn't been for Isaac Brock, the American forces would have taken Upper Canada during the war of 1812. He valiantly rallied settlers and, with a small force of Regulars, Native Peoples and militia, defeated General Hull at Detroit without

impulsiveness on this occasion was a minor flaw, and he symbolized everything that was good in the British character.

Isaac Brock was a patriot and a soldier, fighting for hearth and home, for flag and country. His ideas were always high, his aspirations noble. In 1854, a 185 foot monument was erected in Queenston Heights, Ontario, which contains the General's

grave. Highway 405 passes just south of this site.

It is fitting that Highway 405 be renamed the General Brock Parkway.

Therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

General Brock Parkway

1. Highway 405 is hereby named the General Brock Parkway.

short title of this Act is the General Brock Parkway Act, 2006 .
