Remove youth abuser's name, Reigh Allen, from Dartmouth Youth Centre

The Issue

I  was a  former ward of the court in NS who was  abused by  a male counsellor named Reigh Allen. Instead of him being fired and criminally charged I was evicted from the girls  home, Johnson House, and  notes were fabricated to DCS  saying I assaulted him unprovoked. I had a right to defend myself after he harmed me.  No police were called in to  investigate. I was  then placed in the NS Home for Colored Children where I was further   abused and maltreated. Reigh Allen  continued working with youth and a youth centre in Dartmouth was named after him as he passed away due to a medical issue. Every day I know his name is on a building  supposedly for youth care and  healing sickens me as he harmed me  and  got away with it, and I was punished  by  being evicted and sent to a Home that caused me permanent damages. I want the name removed for obvious reasons and changed to a healing word...
