O’Grady Road is now officially a thing of the past.
The new Dakelh Ti – which means First Nations Road – street signs went up in the Southridge neighbourhood today.
LLheidli T’enneh Chief Dolleen Logan requested the name change two years ago, saying “The priest O’Grady was in charge of three residential schools, so he knew what was going on, he had to of known what was going on. And then they gave him an honorary doctorate.”
It's official – O'Grady Road is now called Dakelh Ti! #CityofPG roads crew replaced the street signs this morning. 🎉
