	"description": "Several high profile renamings and removals have taken place in British Columbia. These were done with such poor processes that have led to several negative consequences. The first Chief Justice of British Columbia Matthew Begbie was incorrectly accused of being responsible for hanging six people. This led to none other than Tom Berger, one of the most significant leaders in the movement to support indigenous people, to move a motion to overturn a Law Society Board decision. The Vancouver School Board has inadvertently named schools in Squamish territory with Musqueum names creating unnecessary tension. As the Vancouver School Board proceeds on an aggressive renaming program and other jurisdictions in British Columbia are following their lead, causing other unfortunate results, now is the time to ensure that these decisions go through a proper process. We urge all British Columbians to consider signing the following petition: We the undersigned request that renaming or memorial removal decisions in British Columbia go through a thorough process to ensure the issues are fully understood and that all stakeholders have an opportunity to participate in that process. These include the following: A respected, neutral historian lay out the issues and provide perspective. Renamings of replacements be considered renamings, not namings. Alumni and all stakeholders be involved in the process. The neighbourhood of the renaming/removal be involved in the process. All First Nations that have a stake in the issue give their formal position. The cost of the action should be clearly spelled out to all the stakeholders. The cost of the action to citizens affected by the decision should be clearly spelled out. We ask that we be kept informed about the status of the decision.",
