dewlineAs someone with an interest in the history of street names, my thanks to rfmcdonald for putting this story from the Calgary Sprawl forward...
Quoting the author:
"Given these conflicts over roads and development, it’s hard to imagine the city changing its name, as the Stoneys and Piikani requested.
But what if we did? What if Calgary was still Calgary, but also Mohkinstsis (Blackfoot), and Wichispa Oyade (Nakoda), and Guts’ists’i (Tsuut’ina)—officially?"
