Most, but not all, pleased to see RDC drop team name change
When Red Deer College announced plans to change the names of their athletics teams, pushback from the community was immediate.
RDC announced in January that it wanted to evolve with names that were not gender-based as they transition to becoming Red Deer University. The college cancelled that plan last week and said the long-standing Kings and Queens names will remain.

More than 1,000 people had responded to the college’s online survey about the change, and nearly 8,000 signed a private petition to keep Kings and Queens.
