The recent debate whether to rename Kelly Road Secondary School to Shas Ti (Grizzly Path) Secondary sees the Prince George Citizen online poll put the question to our readers.

We asked "are you in support of the proposed name for the new high school currently under construction in the Hart?"

The nays have it with 64 per cent and 1,268 votes saying "no, it should be Kelly Road - the same name as the old school, followed by "no, there should be more public consultation before a new name is chosen," with 21 per cent and 420 votes. On the flip side, 12 per cent and 245 votes came in for "yes, Shas Ti ("Grizzly path") Secondary is a great way to acknowledge the Lheidli T'enneh," and trailing was "yes, since the old building is being demolished, the new building should have a different name," with three percent and 52 votes.

There was a total of 1,985 votes. Remember this is not scientific poll.

Next question is "do you support the 3.44 per cent increase in city taxes for 2020?"

To make your vote count, the poll is on the main page of our website.
