Iveson calls for removal of Grandin from Edmonton LRT station, civic signs

Iveson said his motion will also direct the city to:
Cover the original mural of Grandin at the LRT station with orange
Consult with the Grandin working circle for next steps
Request the naming committee work with the circle to create recommendations for a new name or names for the station and district that contribute to reconciliation
"I'm hopeful this action will provide immediate relief as well as offer a clear timeline for when these next steps will unfold," he said in the statement.
Iveson said during a news availability that while calls for the removal have emerged over the years, all Canadians have now had to face "yet more visceral evidence" of the shameful legacy of residential schools.
