Alberta’s government has announced the creation of a new building naming policy that it says will help recognize and promote Alberta’s rich culture and heritage.
Government officials say names have an important role in honouring and celebrating a province’s history and culture. To ensure provincially owned facilities help celebrate the province’s rich culture and heritage, Alberta’s government has created a new building naming policy.
In consultation with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Indigenous communities, the new policy is said to include general principles and guidelines for selecting new names for buildings and sets out terms for public engagement when selecting names.
“This policy change reflects our government’s commitment to recognizing the amazing span of Alberta’s history and the richness of our cultural and natural heritage. It makes sure that the names we choose for our buildings resonate with, and represent, the many people we serve,” says Tanya Fir, Minister of Arts, Culture and Status of Women.
