It could be harder, for sure, but it'll be a challenge for a lot of people, still, especially immigrants who are already struggling to learn one language (English). I do think that, since they want to honour the First Nations and their claim on the land, they could've chosen something like paying homage to an illustrious leader, someone engaged on the social movements led by indigenous peoples, though.
Could be hard for some people, but most people can say Saskatchewan and Wetaskiwin which I'd argue are very similar words; the only difference is that Wîhkwêntôwin is spelt correctly.
Dude, seriously, I know so many people who struggle to say these that it's no even funny (I mean, it is a little funny). But in all seriousness, it's not a super hard name for most people who grew up, or have already been accustomed to some words/names in Canada (in the prairies, particularly). It'll take time to catch on, though, especially with so many things referencing Oliver in the area, from businesses to buildings.
This has definitely been frustating over the last few weeks, especially with the two decent dumps of snow we got. It took at least 3+ days (more than a week for the first one) for majority of the MUPs out of my area to even get touched. Meanwhile most people had their walks shovelled within 24ish hours, the MUPs were all pretty much unrideable due to the loose snow... after a very frustrating ride this Monday, just to the train station (~15ish mins), I ended up just taking transit the next day. It was way worse riding than the week of deep freeze we got.
In all fairness, they're barely driveable as well, in some areas of the city, unless you're driving a big suburbitank.
They can not be serious….So looks like these three bike network expansions will be moving forwards this year.
