OTTAWA The National Capital Commission and the city of Ottawa are being urged to remove the name of Sir John A. Macdonald from the parkway and other sites in the capital that bears his name. Two members of the Algonquin nation, Albert Dumont and Monique Manatch, along with Ottawa residents Roxanne Buckle and Brenda Mason have launched a petition demanding the immediate removal of Macdonald s name from the parkway. The call to rename the parkway follows the discovery of a mass grave of 215 children at the site of a former residential school in British Columbia. That the name of John A. Macdonald, the first Canadian prime minister who so blatantly orchestrated crimes against humanity, is still honoured on unceded Algonquin territory is an insult to the many Algonquin survivors of the residential schools he played a fundamental role in creating, said the petition.
