The York Region District School Board (YRDSB) has formally renamed Vaughan Secondary School in honour of Somali-Canadian journalist Hodan Nalayeh after a strong push from community advocates.
"If she was here with us today, (she) would say that she wants all of us to continue to follow our dreams, our passions, that we are here in this life to live life to the fullest," Sahra Nalayeh, Hodan's sister, said alongside her father during a virtual portrait unveiling Tuesday evening.
