Dear Editor.
Re: “Woman fighting ICBC over use of Catholic names.”
I had exactly the same issue and was forced to legally change my name so I didn’t have to use the name as shown on my birth certificate. I was born in Manitoba to a Quebecois mother.
I grew up in B.C. and had always used Maryel as my first name on my driver’s licence and all other legal or medical documents. Suddenly ICBC decided I have to start using my name as shown on my birth certificate?! (Marie Clara Maryel)
Utter nonsense! I even had to go to the police station to get finger printed. I sincerely hope she wins her fight!
