Sidney council continues to
have a whale-sized problem with
giving the local museum a name.

The most recent selection was .

Sidney Museum - Marine Mam-
mal and Historical.

Council had actually accepted
the name. But the motion was
rescinded for reconsideration, Jan.
8, apparently because not every-
body on the museum advisory
committee likes it.

It was, however, the committee’s

anyway?

choice.

Said Ald. Herb Addison in com- ~

mittee-of-the-whole Monday:
“Yes, it’s more enticing to get
people off the highway to say
Sidney Whale Museum. But it
isn’t the choice of the committee
and I think we should go along
with them.”

But Ald. Ben Ethier said, “The
thing is we’re not satisfying the
whole committee.”

Addison said the term “whales”

doesn’t represent the other exhib-
its in the museum.

The great museum name hunt
has been sent back to the museum
advisory committee.

‘Let’s get it right: do
they want the
name whale in
there or not?’

Said Ald. John Calder, “‘Let’s
get it right: do they want the name
whale in there or not?”

He added, however, that he
thinks the last choice was the right
one. It would “‘be shortened to
Sidney Museum in time.”
