Today we speak to Tomas Jirousek, the Indigenous Affairs commissioner for SSMU and a lead organizer behind the #ChangeTheName campaign which is pushing to change the name of McGill mens’ varsity sports teams from “Redmen”.
Tomas talks about how it feels as an indigenous athlete on a team bearing this name, his hopes for the future of McGill, and fills out some details on the campaign itself.
