'On Wednesday, Ontario’s Peel District School Board voted to rename Sir John A. MacDonald Public School in Brampton to Nibi Emosaawdang Public School. The new name is an Anishinaabe word meaning “water walker,” and is in reference to Josephine Mandamin, a residential school survivor who organized days-long “water walks” around the shores of the Great Lakes to promote water stewardship. She died in 2019.
