City of Ottawa to Rename Trump Avenue as Trade War Continues
A public consultation and working group will choose a new street name for residents, with a vote targeted for next spring or early summer.
- On Wednesday, Ottawa City Council voted to initiate the process of renaming Trump Avenue, a street in the Central Park neighbourhood named after U.S. President Donald Trump. River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington introduced the motion.
- Created more than 20 years ago when Trump was a real estate mogul, the street's naming has increasingly faced criticism. His tumultuous presidency and strained bilateral relations have fueled recent calls for the change.
- Brockington described the move as "a new beginning," while Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe noted his discomfort with maintaining a street named after a leader who has demonstrated consistent hostility toward Canada.
- City officials will lead a community-led consultation process to select a new name, aiming to have a final recommendation for council to vote on by next year.
- Escalating trade tensions between the United States and Canada prompted the decision. Elsewhere, similar frustrations surfaced, including a failed motion in Iqaluit to rename a municipal sewage lagoon 'Trump Lake'.
