A new Tiny Township street truly honours one of the region’s legitimate rock stars.
The newly christened Glenn Howard Court honours prominent Tiny resident Glenn Howard, who grew up in nearby Midland.
Over the years, Howard has proven to be a bona fide curling legend after starting out in the 1980s as third while playing for his brother Russ’s rink. The pair won two Briers and two world championships together.
To recognize his many accomplishments and community support through various contributions to local charitable causes, the township held a ribbon-cuttling ceremony Wednesday to celebrate the naming of the new road in the Copeland Creek South Subdivision in Howard’s honour.
“It is my honour to announce the name of the new road as Glenn Howard Court,” Tiny Township Mayor George Cornell said in a release. “By honouring Glenn through the naming of the new road, our community can maintain a strong connection to his legacy that will be remembered for years to come.”
Besides the aforementioned titles, Howard has also won 17 Ontario provincial championships along with two additional Briers and two world championships as a skip. Those accomplishments make him one of the most globally decorated curlers of all time.
Council approved the name for the new road, after receiving the request from Ted Phelps, the local developer of the Copeland Creek South Subdivision.
As per the township’s naming policy, Howard met the criterion as he is a prominent Tiny resident who has contributed to the community through his sports achievements.
In attendance for the ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the naming of Glenn Howard Court were Howard, his wife Judy and his mother Barbara, Phelps, Cornell, Coun. Cindy Hastings, and CAO Robert Lamb.
