Toronto is now only one vote away from renaming Dundas Street Stay in the loop Sign up for our free email newsletter. Unsubscribe anytime or contact us for details. Momentum continues to build for the push to rename Toronto's Dundas Street in honour of somebody who didn'tsupport slavery, with only one final hurdle left to jump before the city bids farewell to a moniker that, at this point, is basically interchangeable with "Racist Guy Road." Mayor John Tory's Executive Committee voted unanimously this afternoon (6-0, as two councillors were absent) to move forward with the renaming process. This paves the way for the City of Toronto to change a major street name and all other civic assets paying homage to Henry Dundas, a Scottish politician who actively campaigned to delay the abolition of slavery and has few, if any, ties to Toronto.
