Students and advocates want 'traumatizing' name of CBE's Langevin school changed

Calgary Board of Education says there is no official process to rename a school

Feb 19, 2021

The call to rename Calgary's Langevin School, named after one of the men behind Canada's residential school system, is growing louder — bolstered by current and former students who say the name is offensive to Indigenous peoples and reinforces racism.

The Bridgeland school gets its name from Hector-Louis Langevin, one of the Fathers of Confederation and a Conservative cabinet minister, serving as secretary of state for the provinces when the country's residential schools were introduced.
