Iconic symbols for a variety of categories in the embed could include:
-- for sports an embed that relates to the specific sport of the individual being honored (e.g. player with hockey stick for Hockey; player with football for CFL; player with basketball for basketball; etc.)
-- for musicians a note symbol, for singers a microphone, etc.
-- for politicians a dais with person speaking through a microphone
-- for artists a paint brush; sculptors a recognizable statue; etc.
-- for architecture a T-square and calipers
-- for First Nations totems and/or tepees
... and on like that
as well the embed recipient could receive a medallion commemorating the experience related to their honor (placed in their estate if they are no longer with us)

With identifier hockey icon added... the identifier icons would match the honored subject.

Another suggestion might be to cluster like-honorees by category along the various paths with blank placeholders left for future additions so that the entire field can be laid out in advance with maybe a "key" map in the alleyway between the two parks. Following through then, the alleyway becomes an exciting addition connecting the two parks together with the following features:
-- embedded LED lights in the alley and across the two streets (105th and 106th) defining the connection in strong pathway terms -- the lights should be more than just pattern arrays; they should define a motion pattern that alternates bidirectionally and they should be able to change color as well (emotionally charged to celebrate seasons and events)
-- a colored "umbrella" array overhead that is LED up-lit illuminated (light concealed in the stem "handle" of each umbrella) -- ideally the umbrellas would be different sizes (diameters) with large ones lower in positional elevation and smaller ones higher, all to exaggerate a sense of 3-d and depth perception. These lights, too, would have the ability to change colors and could be synced with the pathway lights for event effect.
-- the honoree embeds then also connect the two parks through the alley (not on the street crossings)
-- the alley and the street crossings are rebuilt so that they can also be heated during weather events.
-- the street crossings are slightly elevated so that crossing vehicular traffic is forced to slow and so that they can be sloped for drainage.

Respect to the effort but this one honestly might age like milk in the coming decade.
 
So one of the things I can complain about from the other day and hopefully this is just a temporary thing but I had to make the walk from Corona station to NorQuest and I basically took the root from 107th Street and cut across to the alley between 107th and 108. The sidewalks within the park we're great nice and clean not that slippery so that part was good. The part that sucked was the alleyway where the Park sidewalk feeds on to the alley had not been touched at all. So essentially once you get in the park you're good but depending on where you go if you want to get out of the park it could be a bit of a challenge.
 
I like the view of that picture, the only thing though that makes me a bit sad is the one parking lot on Jasper Avenue that I'm pretty certain won't see any development despite almost every other property surrounding the park we'll see work within the next year or so as far as I know
