Consultation has concluded

The City of Oshawa is inviting community members to share their feedback on the proposed change of the City’s official flower from the rose to the peony.

In celebration of the Year of the Garden 2022, a request from the Oshawa Garden Club was made to City Council to change the official flower of the City to the peony. Oshawa features one of Canada’s largest contemporary peony collections in bloom at the Oshawa Valley Botanical Garden located adjacent to Children’s Arena (155 Arena St.).

In 1953, at the request of the Oshawa Horticultural Society (now the Oshawa Garden Club) the rose was adopted as the official flower of Oshawa by City Council and is currently represented on the City of Oshawa’s flag by two circles of stylized petals.

Community members are invited to provide their feedback on the proposed change of the official city flower by completing the feedback form here on Connect Oshawa or on paper at Service Oshawa, located at City Hall (50 Centre St. S.)

Feedback will be received until noon on Monday, April 11, 2022 and will be considered in a report to the Community Services Committee.
