Renaming of Science World
Sign Now
I am appalled at the Science World Board of Governors' decision to rename the Science World facility to "TELUSphere". The name "TELUSphere" in no way reflects the mission or content appropriate to a childrens' learning facility. Assigning a corporate brand to a non-profit educational centre cheapens the value of the facility, deceives the city's children with embedded advertising, and tarnishes a highly visible Vancouver landmark.
I appreciate that TELUS has provided a significant amount of funding for a valuable learning centre; however, I feel that any name change must be reflective of the mission and mandate of the institution.
I declare that this name change is an unwelcome imposition upon the residents of Vancouver, and request that the decision be reconsidered and reversed.

I hate when well known landmarks are renamed. The Skydome becoming the Rogers Centre was a bad one too.

It is illogical to place a private corporate name on the face of a public institution or service. Q.E.D.

Its so foolish for Science World to go with a sinking ship like Telus. This must be an intent to render it a cheap sale soon... Hey if US-Telephone Ball bites it do I get a REFUND on my membership? Where do I cash in my Paladium gift card today anyhow?
