The city has received recommendations on how to re-name Bishop Grandin Boulevard, as well as 2 associated routes:
Bishop Grandin Boulevard would become Abinojii Mikanah (A-bin-oh-gee Mee-kin-ah)
Bishop Grandin Trail would become Awasisak Mēskanow (Aa-wa-sis-uk Me-ska-noh)
Grandin Street would become Taapweewin Way (Tap-way-win)
The Executive Policy Commitee will review the changes on March 13th.
Grandin Street in St. Boniface and the Bishop Grandin Trail are also bring looked at to recieve a name change. Taapweewin Way and Awasisak Mēskanow.
Pleased to see Wpg’s journey of reconciliation continue. Efforts to rename Bishop Grandin are almost complete thanks to work of many incl residential school survivors & Welcoming Wpg committee. Hoping Council supports the new name Abinojii Mikanah, which means Children’s Roadway. https://t.co/T2gKH7DC2g
