NORTH DELTA (NEWS1130) – A petition to rename the Delta park where a teenage girl was killed two weekends ago has garnered at least 750 signatures.
Wendy Colville, the woman who decided to start the petition, tells the Vancouver Sun her son was friends with 15-year-old Laura Szendrei. She says he felt really angry, helpless and wanted to do something.
The petition is calling on Delta City Hall to change the name of Mackie Park to Laura Szendrei Memorial Park. Colville tells the newspaper if the name can’t be changed, she would settle for a plaque or bench in the girl’s honour.
