The principal of Sir John A. Macdonald High School in Upper Tantallon, Nova Scotia, says the school will be renamed to reflect inclusivity, especially regarding indigenous students.
In an open letter, principal Darlene Fitzgerald invited students, parents, and faculty members to provide ideas for a new school name, saying the current name “alienates Indigenous students,” noting Macdonald’s involvement in the establishment of the residential school system and the passage of the Indian Act of 1867.
