The City of Vancouver has refused to reveal the cost of renaming Trutch St. šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm St., claiming doing so could “harm” the government and indigenous people.

In response to a request filed by the Western Standard, the director of access to information & privacy said the data was “excepted from disclosure” under Sections s. 16(1) and s. 18.1 of British Columbia’s Freedom of Information and Privacy Protection Act.
