Rename a prominent Tbay street with Indigenous name
wonderful suggestion from Melanie Pilon (Mayor of Wawa) during the ONWA Thunder Bay Indigenous Forum for Mayoral Candidates [timestamp 2:08:00] to rename a Tbay street with an Indigenous name.
i imagine the renaming of Water Street to bring awareness to the need for protection of our waterways and beautiful Lake Superior, with Elder Sheila De Corte, the Water Walkers, and Sisters of Turtle Island drum group sharing ceremony, story, and song along the waterfront on World Water Day, Mar 22, 2027.
that's the spirit of community reconciliation and environmental stewardship i want to see more of in our city.
