Vancouver’s newest street name is set to be the city’s first officially named in an alphabet other than English: šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm Street.
The new name, which comes from the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language of the Musqueam First Nation, will replace Trutch Street on Vancouver’s West Side if city council approves a staff report at a meeting next week.
