Dear Editor:
Way back when the new school on the old Saint Mary's Hospital site was named (April 2013), you indicated how to pronounce the hard-to-spell name.
Since then there has been plenty of mention of the school but no reminder that we can recall as to how to pronounce its name.
We suspect there are others in the city who, like us, don't know what to call the school - other than "the school where Saint Mary's used to be." Perhaps it would be a good idea to put the pronunciation in parentheses when the school is talked about?
After all the controversy about John Robson school being renamed and a policy being developed to name schools by location, what happened in the case of École Qayqayt Elementary?
