's Ministry of Transportation is confirming it will change the name of a rural north Okanagan road, after complaints from residents. "I was angered and somewhat surprised considering the day and age that we're in that we still see derogatory racist road signs within our territory. "I can assure you when contact occurred 150 years ago ... people in our traditional territory would have had a place name for that area. government conducted a broad review of provincial place names and streets and replaced dozens of racist, sexist, and derogatory terms. We are taking steps to find a more suitable road name which involves consultation with the Splatsin, whose traditional territory this road resides within."
