In The Margin

Rebrand this!

- January 27th, 2012

As you may have read, the University of Western Ontario has “rebranded” itself as Western University.

This news inspired me to do a bit of rebranding of my own in Monday’s column, with my suggestions for renaming local landmarks such as Victoria Park, Storybook Gardens and the JLC.

Maybe you’ve got some ideas, too. (They’re probably better than mine.) Drop me a comment and let’s see if we can “re-position” some of this city’s better-known sites and sayings.

    Victoria Park- Western Park.
    Storybook Gardens- Western Gardens.
    John Labatt Centre- Western Hockey Arena.

    While we’re at it why don’t we just rename London “Western City, Canada”. Keeping the name “London” (which has been this city’s moniker since it was first settled in the early 19th century) would just confuse international investors. We need a more easily recognizable name, even if it doesn’t do anything to reflect the area’s heritage.

    Do you see where I’m going with this, Chakma?
