At the August 8, 2022, Council Meeting, Chatham-Kent Council passed the following motion:
“Whereas there is currently no formal process to recognize elected municipal officials for service to the community through naming or commemoration, and whereas former Councillor Bryon Fluker, who was elected to Tilbury town council in 1972, and served until the year 2000, when he was subsequently elected as Mayor of Tilbury until 2006, followed by Chatham-Kent council where he subsequently served until 2014.
And whereas the community of Tilbury benefitted from the 40+ years of service and leadership partaken by Mr. Fluker.
Therefore, I move that Chatham-Kent staff review and recommend an appropriate walking trail in the Tilbury area be named after Mr. Bryon Fluker following the requirements of the Chatham-Kent Commemorative Naming Policy.”
Councillor Fluker was first elected in 1972 and served as the Mayor of Tilbury until being elected to the inaugural Council of the Municipality of Chatham-Kent as a Councillor for Ward 1 in 1998 where he served until 2018.
After consultation with staff from the Parks and Recreation Division and the widow of the late Councillor Fluker, the trail within Memorial Park in Tilbury was chosen. Councillor Fluker would often take this trail when he was out on his daily walks.
As per the requirements of the Commemorative Naming Policy, the naming of the Bryon Fluker Memorial Trail will be open for public comments for a period of 30 days. Please complete the survey below.
