Recent news events involved Testalinda Creek and news media consistently report erroneously used the name “Testalinden,” apparently drawn from geographical naming lists under control of the British Columbia Geographical Names Office and the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
British Columbia’s Geographical Naming Principles, Policy and Procedures states “NAMES IN GENERAL PUBLIC USE
(a) First priority shall be given to names with long-standing local usage by the general public. Unless there are good reasons to the contrary, this policy should prevail.
(b) Where long-established forms of names on maps and in records conflict with extensive, preferred local usage, the latter should prevail unless it is believed that confusion might occur, derogatory or pejorative forms might result, or for some other reason the local name does not serve the public interest.”
This petition seeks to restore the correct name of “Testalinda.”
