    They aren’t suggesting dropping the “British”, rather they are asking about changing the name to something more representative of the Indigenous Peoples of BC who have been keepers of the land since time immemorial.

    Not sure how that would work, though, as there are so many Nations and languages in the province.

    Like, “Powell River School District” is now “qathet School District”. They didn’t just drop “Powell” to call it “River”, lol.
