In an act of reconciliation, Victoria street gets a new name
Victoria’s Trutch Street was renamed Su’it Street for the Lekwungen word for “truth” in a ceremony with the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations and community members on Sunday.
Helps said it was “heartening and moving” to see many residents in attendance at the ceremony and for those neighbours still unsure about the change, “hopefully they were able to hear and see today the meaningfulness of this work to the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nation.”
City staff have been working with members of the Lekwungen cultural team to make local Indigenous identity more apparent throughout Victoria.
