7 Hello Councillor Wyatt: October 5/2015 I am contacting you in reference of a request to get a street or park named in Honor of my Uncle Harry Magas, WWII Soldier who died on Normandy Beach July 6th His brothers John, Fred and Tony Magas were also veterans who served during WWII. This was requested by my mother Mary Miller (nee Magas) in excess of twenty -five years ago, during Councillor Boychuk's term. My brother Fred Miller and myself Bob have made several requests in the last ten or more years to further my mother's last wishes. There seems to be limited housing developments left in east Transcona, Redonda and Gunn Road, and I think the land east of Ravenhurst between Pandora and the CN tracks sold. Hopefully this becomes more housing with available Street Name sites. The Magas family resided near the Ed Golding East End Arena from the early 1900's so east Transcona would be a perfect location. I thank you very much for your time and consideration. Yours Truly Robert Miller 7

The validity of the identity of the sender or the information provided cannot be guaranteed. Sent: Tuesday, November 18, :51:51 PM Message: Good day Russ, I am contacting you in reference to the naming of streets in Transcona. Approximately 20 years ago my mother, Mary Miller(nee Magas), contacted then City councillor Rick Boychuck about having a street named after the Magas family. Their is a history of the Magas' family at the Transcona Museum. Harry Magas gave his life in WW2 stepping on a landmine in Normandy. Fred Magas flew for the RCAF and the RAF in tours of duty also in WW marked the centennial of Transcona, the parents of these war veterans built their home in Transcona in 1912, founding members of the community. To date my brother Bob and I have not been informed of any progress of a street named for the Magas family. Could you please give me any updates on this. Or please look into this request. Much appreciated Russ Fred Miller 8
