   Why did Toronto rename Yonge-Dundas Square?

   • It was approved by Toronto city council. The initial process to rename the Square was sparked by a petition pointing out that Henry Dundas, who Yonge-Dundas Square was named for, was involved in delaying the abolition of the Transatlantic slave trade.

When this comes to full council on Thursday, let’s hope the majority side with sanity and vote this name change down.
