Ariel Troster @arieltroster.bsky.social · 28/07/2026What an honour to be at the official opening of Herbert and Estelle Brown Park on Besserer in Rideau-Vanier. Councillor Stephanie Plante worked with Black History Ottawa and the Brown family to honour the pioneering founders of Brown’s Cleaners. 1153
Ariel Troster @arieltroster.bsky.social · 28/07/2026“Pop” and Estelle were cornerstones of Ottawa’s Black community, with their business and home often serving as a meeting ground for newcomers from Jamaica and other Caribbean countries. This park is the first one in our city to be named after Black Ottawans — a long time coming! 0102
