Day 17 of #22 days: Renaming for Reconciliation

Shortly after the release of the closing report from the Truth and Reconciliation commission, a Calgary resident created an online petition to rename the Langevin Bridge.

Michelle Robinson, the Alberta President of the Liberal Party's "Aboriginal People's Commission" says, “not only would renaming the bridge be part of the process of reconciliation between Canada and First Nations, but it's a process that could be replicated across the country.”
