flag Owen Sound proposes renaming Ryerson Park over ties to a figure linked to Canada’s residential schools.

flag A working group in Owen Sound, Ontario, has recommended renaming Ryerson Park due to its association with Egerton Ryerson, a 19th-century figure linked to Canada’s residential school system. flag The proposal, driven by efforts to advance Indigenous reconciliation and address colonial legacies, follows community consultations and input from Indigenous leaders. flag While no new name has been selected, the city will consider public input before a final decision, expected in early 2026. flag The move reflects a broader national trend of re-evaluating public spaces with controversial histories.
