There’s a new program that allows Islanders to propose a name for a location, or to rename a location in PEI.
It’s the PEI Geographic Naming and Renaming Program. Islanders can submit proposals for adding a name where none currently exists; removing a name no longer used; changing an existing name; or modifying a name because of an error like a misspelling or a duplication.
All naming proposals must show thoughtful research, public engagement, and local support from the community and Indigenous representatives.
