At a renaming ceremony in 2022, xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band) gifted the City of Vancouver with a new street name to replace Trutch Street.
After significant collaboration with Musqueam, the City is excited to share with residents that starting June 17, 2025, Trutch Street’s new name will be:
- Legal name: šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm Street
- English translation: Musqueamview Street
The legal name will be used in official City records, maps, and some government databases. The English translation will be used where the legal name cannot currently be displayed, such as mail delivery systems.
