- I am writing to you with feedback regarding the redistribution of the federal electoral districts and their proposed new names. I am a resident of the Parkdale - High Park riding.
- I would like to see Parkdale retained in the riding name Parkdale - High Park. Would you consider using the name Taiaiako'n - Parkdale - High Park or Teiaiagon - Parkdale - High Park or Taiaiagon - Parkdale - High Park?
- Has anyone consulted with the Seneca and/or Mohawk regarding the nomenclature? Notably, the three variations in spelling: Teiaiagon, Taiaiagon, and Taiaiako'n.
- Several ridings in Ontario use triple names - such as Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston or Leeds - Grenville - Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. The above recommendation of one of: Teiaiagon - Parkdale - High Park or Taiaiako'n - Parkdale - High Park or Taiaiagon - Parkdale - High Park would not be unprecedented.
- There is a history of erasure of Parkdale as a byproduct of the neighbourhood becoming socioeconomically marginalized in the 20th century. Unfortunately, this trend has continued in recent years. For example: changes to the municipal neighbourhood profiles of Toronto (see here) has erased North Parkdale and incorporated it as an extension of the more affluent "Roncesvalles" neighbourhood (located to the west).
- Is there an opportunity to rename the riding "Scarborough-Rouge Park" as "Ganatsekwyagon - Scarborough - Rouge Park?" Ganatsekwyagon was another Seneca village in the 17th century and one of the two southern termini of the Toronto Carrying Place (the other being Teiaiagon / Taiaiagon/ Taiaiako'n).
- Alternative to the above, is there an option to rename the riding "Scarborough - Guild Inn" as "Ganatsekwyagon - Scarborough - Guild Inn?" This would be dependent on whether the former village of Ganatsekwyagon is north or south of the new proposed riding boundary.
Thank-you,
Adam Wynne
