It's not really renewed interest I think, how many times in the last 11 years has Nenshi called on the CCSD and CBE to change the names of these schools?
It's interesting to watch this unfold alongside the BC logging stuff, it really highlights the double standard that people hold when it comes to FN people. On one hand, we need T&R and to rename things because of the actions taken in the past; but then we have a group of predominantly white people who have no apparent issues with forcing their way onto un-ceded lands in defiance of court orders and the wishes of the Nation to try and impose their will despite the Nation not wanting the "help"
