Neil Peart Pavilion at Lakeside Park - Mayor Sendzik Interview & City Council Approval

Karena Walter from The Standard interviews Mayor Walter Sendzik of St. Catharines, Ontario Canada. Neil Peart Pavilion at Lakeside Park - Interview & City Council Approval Rush drummer and lyricist Neil Peart is being honoured with the naming of a pavilion in Port Dalhousie. St. Catharines city council made the name Neil Peart Pavilion at Lakeside Park official Wednesday in a unanimous vote following public engagement earlier this year. More than 81 per cent of residents who voted online chose Neil Peart Pavilion over the name Lakeside Park Pavilion. "The public voting on naming is obviously fairly conclusive," said Port Dalhousie Coun. Bruce Williamson. "Neil Peart's been one of our most famous local individuals and a lot of his songs have local roots, including the namesake park." Peart grew up in St. Catharines and went to elementary and high school in the city. He worked at the former midway in Port Dalhousie's Lakeside Park in the summer and wrote the Rush song "Lakeside Park." He is a member of the Order of Canada and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Rush members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson in 2013. Peart died Jan. 7 at age 67 after a battle with brain cancer. On Jan. 27, council asked staff to begin the process of naming the pavilion — which had no name previously — and to consider Neil Peart as a potential name. The $1.8-million pavilion was constructed in Lakeside Park in 2017, replacing an older structure. Residents were asked to submit their ideas for pavilion names in February. City staff said a significant number of the submissions received over two weeks included Peart or Rush in the name. By Karena Walter ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ontario, Canada, honored the late Rush drummer and lyricist on Wednesday by naming a new pavilion in the city's Lakeside Park after him, The St. Catharines Standard reports. According to the paper, St. Catharines city council voted unanimously Wednesday to officially name the structure Neil Peart Pavilion. The council vote took place after an online public vote was held earlier in the year that resulted in 81 percent of the participants choosing Neil Peart Pavilion over Lakeside Park Pavilion. Peart, who attended grade school and high school in St. Catherines, co-wrote a song for Rush called "Lakeside Park" that appeared on the band's third studio album, 1975's Caress of Steel. During the council meeting, local council member Bruce Williamson noted, "The public voting on naming is obviously fairly conclusive. Neil Peart's been probably one of our most famous local individuals and a lot of his songs have local roots, including [the song about] the namesake park." According to The St. Catharines Standard, the pavilion was constructed in 2017 and cost $1.8 million to erect. The newspaper also notes that the Peart family will work with the city's staff and heritage committee to decide on a sign for the building that will celebrate Neil's life and career. In addition, a task force was organized in April to consider other plans for honoring Peart locally with a statue or another memorial. By Matt Friedlander Late Rush drummer and lyricist Neil Peart will be honored in his home city after a poll of residents agreed that a pavilion should be named after him. The Neil Peart Pavilion is in the Port Dalhousie area of St. Catharines, Ontario, near the location that inspired the song “Lakeside Park” from Rush's 1975 album Caress of Steel. He died in January at 67, after suffering from an aggressive form of cancer. “The public voting on naming is obviously fairly conclusive," Councilman Bruce Williamson told the St. Catharines Standard, noting that 81 percent of those who voted agreed with the title. “Neal Peart's been one of our most famous local individuals, and a lot of his songs have local roots, including the namesake park.” In 1994, Peart wrote an account of his upbringing in St Catharines. “Port Dalhousie in the late '50s was a magical time and place, perfect for boyhood," he said. "Quiet streets for ball hockey, the lake for swimming, skating on Martindale Pond, the library to feed my growing appetite for reading and hordes of other ‘baby boomer’ kids around to share it all.” He noted that, "as a rule, though, I'm not very nostalgic … but now that I take this occasion to look back on my early life, I am amazed at how many names and faces come surging up. Old friends and neighbors, of course, but more important: So many people who have made a mark on my life. Schoolteachers, drum teachers, life savers, guitar players, grandmothers and even Mom and Dad. … My life, then and now, might be summed up by Nietzsche's motto: ‘That which does not kill me makes me stronger.'"
