City council board to consider renaming Dundas Station this week
The 'Dundas' name could be scrapped from TTC stations soon, as city council's TTC board considers a partnership with Toronto Metropolitan University to erase the name of Henry Dundas — a Scottish parliamentarian implicated in Britain's slave trade to the Caribbean — from the city's transit maps.
The proposed partnership will go to the board on Wednesday, where city councillors will consider renaming the station to 'TMU Station.' The cost of renaming the station, which was previously pegged at $1.6 million, would be covered by the university.
