But this week, the school board unanimously voted to change the name of the school to Shas Ti Secondary, to reflect Indigenous traditions on that land. "We recognized that this was going to bring forward a whole bunch of different emotions," school board chair Tim Bennett said. Bennett and the school board have received emails, phone calls and text messages from people expressing their displeasure with the name change. A new school is being built next to Kelly Road Secondary, which was originally going to bear the same name. The school board has since issued a media release stating that there will be future consultations with the community.
