Mayor Olivia Chow says it’s time to consider the renaming of Yonge-Dundas Square a done deal as she and her allies fended off an attempt to derail the project during a emotionally charged meeting Thursday.
At the end of a debate that featured an explosive speech from one of Chow’s deputy mayors, council voted down a pair of motions that would have shelved or defunded the previously approved plan to rechristen Toronto’s downtown plaza as Sankofa Square.
