Telus World
Sign Now
I am appalled at the Science World Board of Governors' decision to rename the Science World facility to "TELUS World". The name "TELUS World" 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. TELUS did not build Science World like GM Place. Science World has benefited from MANY contributors.
Have you seen TELUS Idol? TELUS World is a bizarre world indeed. We need to protect our children from this kind of exploitation. If TELUS wants to advertise their company at Science world, please do. Dont rewrite history by renaming Science World after one immoral mans ego.
I declare that this name change is an unwelcome imposition upon the residents of Vancouver, and request that the decision be reconsidered and reversed.

Telus is in the midst of a massive labour dispute. Do you really think this is a good idea?

What the heck. How selfish is that. Spend some money paying your own employees before you dish out more money to get Science World named after TELUS. Very disgusting.

Telus is NOT the world but Science IS. Science World is aply named and is already world renown in Vancouver. Changing it makes no sense at all. Use the money to enhance the facility instead.
