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.

香蕉视频直播淭hey felt that they didn香蕉视频直播檛 want to use the word Shuswap in there at all, or Secw茅pemc, because it has a wrong connotation that it香蕉视频直播檚 part of the Nation and it香蕉视频直播檚 really not," said Makayev. "Their suggestion was to use the Secw茅pemc word for Sicamous, Sek香蕉视频直播檈maws.香蕉视频直播�

He added Splatsin also wanted to drop the word healing from the name as well and suggested calling it the Sek香蕉视频直播檈maws Community Health Centre. In discussion, council supported the proposed name change but want to ensure the english word is also incorporated.

香蕉视频直播淲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.香蕉视频直播�

Coun. Bob Evans, however, preferred to have just Sek香蕉视频直播檈maws used.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 spelled the way it is on our roundabout sign, it香蕉视频直播檚 not hard to say after you practice it a couple times,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淚 think it香蕉视频直播檚 the correct way to say Sicamous, so I think that香蕉视频直播檚 what it should be called.香蕉视频直播�

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 Sek香蕉视频直播檈maws (Sicamous) Health Centre.
