OLIVER PAIPOONGE — The board that oversees the Founders Museum Pioneer Village on Highway 61 decided it's time to change the name to something more in keeping with current views of Canada's history.
A report to council stated that the words "founders" and "pioneer" can now be seen as out of touch, since they pertain to European settlement and disregard Indigenous history. Oliver Paipoonge Mayor Lucy Kloosterhuis said she felt it was important to continue to recognize Duke Hunt, who in the 1950s founded a museum that was relocated to the Highway 61 site last year.
"There's going to be Duke Hunt Museum named for the Slate River Hall which is where he lived, and they still have, of course, Russ's Garage [named for Russ Wanzuk] with the antique cars. So there will be some names put on some of the other buildings that will be more local."
