Vancouver City Council unanimously votes to rename a west side street named after Joseph Trutch

BY , Jul 9, 2021 10:26 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Vancouver City Council has voted unanimously to rename a west side street named after Joseph Trutch, BC's first lieutenant governor, who enacted racist programs and policies against Indigenous people.

The street in the city's Kitsilano neighbourhood lies on the unceded territories of the Musqueam First Nation and Mayor Kennedy Stewart says the city is responding to the band's request to change the name.

Members of the First Nation will select a new name.

Stewart's motion also says council will consider similar renaming requests submitted by the Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.
