More on the fight to change a Port Alberni school and street name...
The man in question: A.W. Neill, one-time "Indian Agent"--who certainly approved of the Alberni Residential School, who later told the House of Commons, "...This is a white man’s country, and we want it left a white man’s country." 

It was Neill who proposed Bill 38, designed to halt Japanese immigration through a language test and Bill 11, which put Japanese immigration “on the same plane” as Chinese immigration: it excluded it. 

In 1936, when B.C. Japanese-Canadians asked Ottawa for the right to vote, Scornful Neill called the request “sob stuff” and “claptrap.” Neill also told the PM if the Liberals halted Japanese immigration and imposed registration, King ‘would sweep British Columbia” in the next federal election. He may have been correct...

 His name remains on street and school. Said one resident, "“Neill was elected for 20 years. To stay in office that long, he must have been doing something right.”
