A recent City of Toronto staff report recommended the renaming of Dundas St. and other civic assets with the name. This recommendation follows the creation of a petition in June 2020 and an extensive research and consultation process.
Dundas St. was named after Scottish politician Henry Dundas, who was involved in delaying the abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, causing more than half a million additional Black people to be enslaved in the British Empire.
