Remembering Former Councillor Bryan Anderson (D. Iveson)

Mayor D. Iveson, on behalf of City Council, paused to celebrate the life of one of the City’s most dedicated and passionate leaders: former City Councillor Bryan Anderson. B.

He championed Council’s sport and recreation initiative, which helped to pave the way for Edmonton to become an internationally recognized host city for high-profile sporting events. His dedication to sports led to the renaming of the Terwillegar Heights District Park to the Bryan Anderson Athletic Grounds, last spring. He was inducted into the City of Edmonton’s Salute to Excellence Sports Hall of Fame and as part of this recognition, a short video was prepared. This video was shared to remember and honour his tireless efforts.
