[2] In the wake of the 2021 discovery of unmarked burial sites at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in BC, there were calls to change the name of the roadway, which bears the name of Vital-Justin Grandin—thought to be one of the architects of the residential school system.

[4] On March 23, 2023, Winnipeg city council voted unanimously to change the name of the street to Abinojii Mikanah (Children's Road in Ojibway, one of the local First Nations languages), "to represent residential school survivors and the journey to find the children who never returned home."

On April 26, 2024, it was announced that bylaws pertaining to the rename had received second and third readings at city council.

Having completed this step the city will now register the new name with the land titles office.

Winnipeg Transit will update the name on its maps and schedules on June 16th.
