The long-awaited re-naming ceremony of White Rock’s Totem Plaza will officially commence on Wednesday, May 11.

The event will mark the official dedication of the plaza as Grand Chief Bernard Robert Charles Memorial Plaza. The name will be displayed on the new sign that will be unveiled on Wednesday.

Grand Chief Bernard Robert Charles led the Semiahmoo First Nation from 1963 to 1996. He was universally respected, which is why the plaza was first dedicated to his memory in 2009.
