means Musqueamview in the
Halkomelem language, the native language of the people of
Musqueam. The name was gifted by the
Musqueam Indian Band in a ceremony in September 2022, after
Vancouver City Council voted to rename it in 2021. A new
street name sign was installed on 20 June 2025 at a ceremony at which the Musqueam chief, Wayne Sparrow, and the
mayor of Vancouver,
Ken Sim, spoke. The city council has established an English translation, Musqueamview Street, to be used for where the Halkomelem name cannot be used, including mail delivery systems. Some residents have complained that they have had difficulties updating bank documentation. Ken Sim, the mayor of Vancouver, has pointed out that residents can use the English name "Musqueamview Street", citing its appearance on
Google Maps, and saying that "Change is hard, but it's the right change." The
Squamish Nation has disputed the name change, saying that the street is also located on former Squamish land and criticizing the lack of consultation with their council. The two-week notice given has also been criticized for being too short for residents. ==References==
