Betty Sutherland Trail

Photos by Alan L Brown - Posted August, 2013

Just north of Duncan Mill Road, just west of Don Mills Road, on the southern end of the trail heading north under the 401 1.8 km to Sheppard Avenue East at Leslie Street, is this Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto plaque. Here's what it says:

Betty Sutherland served thirteen years as an elected representative on North York Council until her retirement from politics in 1985. From 1979 to 1985, Mrs. Sutherland was a member of Metropolitan Toronto Council and the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. Devoted to the improvement of recreational opportunities for citizens and visitors to Metropolitan Toronto, Mrs. Sutherland was Chairman of Metropolitan Toronto's Parks, Recreation and Property Committee from 1982 to 1985 and a member of the Authority's Don Valley Advisory Board from 1981 to 1984.
The naming of this trail is a symbol of the significant contribution she made to Metropolitan Toronto's regional parks.
