Many Toronto residents continue to be outraged over city council\u0027s decision to rename Dundas St., Councillor Stephen Holyday says.
The move to erase Henry Dundas from the city map — new names for the street will be considered in early 2023 — is not the approach taken by several other jurisdictions struggling with the Scottish politician’s record.From our newsroom to your inbox at noon, the latest headlines, stories, opinion and photos from the Toronto Sun.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
Toronto Council accepted the $6.3 million cost of renaming Dundas and rebranding Yonge-Dundas Square. That total doesn’t include the cost or recognize the inconvenience that those living on or operating a business on Dundas St. will incur as they are required to update identification and make other changes once the street has a new name.
Mayor John Tory supported the Dundas St. name change, noting at an executive committee meeting last summer that in addition to all the other problems with the Dundas legacy, the city is honoring a man who had no connection to Canada.
