Andrew Scott "Andy" Haydon (born c. 1933) was reeve of Nepean Township, Ontario from 1970 to 1978 and Regional Chair of Ottawa-Carleton from 1978-1991. Haydon was the first mayor of the city of Nepean when it incorporated on November 24, 1978; Ben Franklin assumed the title one week later.[citation needed]
Haydon, a professional engineer, was elected to township council in 1969. The Nepean Sportsplex and National Capital Equestrian Park were built during Haydon's term as reeve of Nepean.
Andrew Haydon Park on the Ottawa River and Andrew Haydon Hall, the city council chambers at Ottawa City Hall, were named after him. Carleton University offers a scholarship in his name each year to a student in an engineering program.
In September 2006, Haydon unexpectedly announced his candidacy in the new suburban ward of Gloucester-South Nepean, 15 years after his retirement from politics.[1] He was defeated by Steve Desroches in the 2006 municipal elections.
In September 2010, Haydon announced his candidacy for Mayor of Ottawa.[2] He joins 13 other candidates for mayor in the Ottawa municipal election.
