Earlier this year, Toronto City Council pushed forward with a plan to rename Yonge-Dundas Square to Sankofa Square.

The move to remove the Dundas name came after scholars indicated that Henry Dundas played a part in delaying the end of the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

The cost to rename the public square was predicted to be around $300,000.

But a new report for the upcoming Executive Committee meeting suggests an option for promoting the new square could be over $800,000 if the Yonge-Dundas Square board of management proceeds with an option to expand staffing and rebranding.
