Municipal Asset Naming and Renaming Program

The naming of municipal assets, including parks, streets and buildings, is a way to showcase history, heroes and community values. 

In consideration of the Town’s commitment to equity and anti-racism, Wolfville will name and rename assets with a clear purpose: to provide a consistent and efficient process when naming or renaming municipal assets and for the Town to use asset naming as a means of redress and reconciliation.

Municipal asset naming and re-naming will be done in accordance with Policy 610-008, the Municipal Asset Naming and Renaming Policy.

This new policy was informed by the Equity and Anti-Racism Advisory Committee through multiple meetings and discussions. The Committee reviewed policy that was working well for other communities, and then intentionally built-in numerous steps to build a more diverse list of potential names for consideration when naming Town assets.

Seeking Potential Public Asset Names
