KITCHENER Students at Grand River Collegiate Institute in Kitchener are pushing to change the name of the street outside their school. On Monday, the Grade 10 Canadian History and Civics class at the high school took to Twitter with an open letter calling for the city to change the name of Indian Road, describing the name as offensive, disrespectful and a source of harm to others. “How can you walk down the street and not feel bothered by that sign?” questioned Harmanpreet Singh, one of the students leading the charge to change the street name. Singh says the idea evolved from a class discussion of Canadian and First Nations history. Classmate Molly Buitenhuis says the change is a simple way to be more inclusive.
