The park was previously known as Troyers Park.
The park was later renamed as Shri Bhagavad Gita Park.
It was unveiled on Sept 28.
India had last month issued an advisory to Indian students in Canada to exercise due caution and remain vigilant in view of the increasing incidences of hate crimes, sectarian violence and anti-India activities in the country.
