A street in Ottawa could soon be named after beloved Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds.
Mayor Jim Watson introduced a motion at city council's meeting, Wednesday, January 26, to propose a street in a new Orléans subdivision be named “Ryan Reynolds Way.”
“Spending part of his childhood living in Vanier, Ryan has a close connection to the City of Ottawa,” explained the mayor.
“The Deadpool star has shown tremendous generosity, donating to the Ottawa Food Bank in support of residents in need during the pandemic,” Watson read from his motion. “And whereas upon receiving notice of generous donations, staff and residents were given encouragement, hope and shared sense of community.”
Reynolds has since responded on Twitter.
This is an incredible honour and a deal is a deal, Mr Mayor… I’ve changed my daughter’s name to “Ottawa.”
