Though not yet complete, the Shuswap (Secw茅pemc) Healing Centre has already been renamed.
At the Nov. 13 meeting, council passed a motion to rename the building as the Sek'emaws (Sicamous) Health Centre as suggested at a council-to-council meeting with Splatsin on Aug. 12. Coun. Malcolm Makayev, who represents Sicamous in that capacity, explained that Splatsin members suggested the change.
91裸聊视频淭hey felt that they didn91裸聊视频檛 want to use the word Shuswap in there at all, or Secw茅pemc, because it has a wrong connotation that it91裸聊视频檚 part of the Nation and it91裸聊视频檚 really not," said Makayev. "Their suggestion was to use the Secw茅pemc word for Sicamous, Sek91裸聊视频檈maws.91裸聊视频
He added Splatsin also wanted to drop the word healing from the name as well and suggested calling it the Sek91裸聊视频檈maws Community Health Centre. In discussion, council supported the proposed name change but want to ensure the english word is also incorporated.
91裸聊视频淲e need to have something that obviously resonates with our community and then theirs, so I mean we combine both of them and then call it a community health centre.91裸聊视频
Coun. Bob Evans, however, preferred to have just Sek91裸聊视频檈maws used.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 spelled the way it is on our roundabout sign, it91裸聊视频檚 not hard to say after you practice it a couple times,91裸聊视频 he said. 91裸聊视频淚 think it91裸聊视频檚 the correct way to say Sicamous, so I think that91裸聊视频檚 what it should be called.91裸聊视频
With the majority favouring the dual name, that recommendation was forwarded to council following another meeting with Splatsin where they decided to now drop the word community for the building to now be named the Sek91裸聊视频檈maws (Sicamous) Health Centre.
