Station Street Placemaking Project

Vote for your Favourite Name for Station Street Park

The time has come to vote for your favourite name for Station Street Park. From all community submissions, 3 names were selected by a panel made up of two members of Council, two Quw'utsun Elders, and two members of the Downtown Duncan BIA.

To recognize and celebrate the cultural richness of our community, each of the three names have been adapted in both Hul'q'umi'num' and English. Currently there is no equivalent word for park/square/or place in Hul'q'umi'num' but efforts are underway to develop new terms as part of ongoing language revitalization work. The Hul'q'umi'num' names represent the primary name i.e.., Friendship = Hiiye'yutul'.

The selected names are:

• Salish Spirit Place – Salish Suli
• Friendship Square – Hiiye'yutul'
• Gathering Place – Sq'uq'iptul

Check out how to say each name in Hul'q'umi'num' by clicking the videos.

Please go to the poll below to vote for your favourite name! The poll will close on April 11, 2025 at 4 p.m. and the top name will be presented to Council for a final decision.

Thank you for your participation!
