Description

The north shore community of Savage Harbour, P.E.I. is in the middle of changing its name, which was flagged as part of a national initiative to identify place names considered outdated or demeaning. The local Indigenous chief asked for the change in 2022, and after community consultation, residents have narrowed the options down to five possible names. We hear about how the process is going and what makes the change so important.
