I offer three names for the school trustees to consider.
Re: “George Jay Elementary to be given new Lekwungen name,” March 9.
However, instead of giving it a Lekwungen name, I ask the trustees to first consider the people most aggrieved by George Jay’s actions — the Chinese community.The first is Alan Lowe, Victoria’s first Chinese mayor, from 1999 to 2008. Lowe was born in Victoria and lived his first three years in Chinatown.
Lowe was awarded the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal in 2003, was named one of the top 100 Most Influential Chinese Canadians in 2006, Honorary Citizen of Victoria in 2018 and an honorary lieutenant colonel in the Canadian Scottish Regiment in 2020. Lam was a well-known philanthropist who founded the David and Dorothy Lam Foundation and the Floribunda Philanthropic Society.
