Had an interesting conversation with Kirk LaPointe on Roundhouse Radio about Vancouver City Councilor Andrea Reimer's recent motion for a new process for naming city assets such as streets, buildings, and courtyards that would better reflect the diverse history of the city...
A motion to rename place and buildings in Vancouver has been moved by councilor Andrea Reimer. These new names would reflect the Indigenous culture of such areas. Tonight, Kirk speaks with Henry Yu, professor of history at UBC to explain what is in a name and the process of renaming historic places like Stanley Park.
