Letters: Is school renaming really a priority in Richmond?

A Richmond News reader questions the logic in some residents' fiscal priorities

Dear Editor,

Is the reasoning for renaming schools valid and who pays for these changes? What about the other British male/female names: British Columbia, Vancouver Island, Prince Rupert, Prince George, New Westminster Vancouver, Victoria, Lulu Island...need I go on?

There are other issues that are a greater fiscal priority, a pandemic, a national opioid overdose crisis, rising sea levels, wildfires, floods, snow, to name a few.

Let’s spend our tax money wisely in 2022.
