ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The National Weather Service says it’s working to change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America on its resources.
The U.S. government agency says the name change will happen in phases to avoid disruptions to operations. This comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order in late August directing the U.S. Interior Department to change the name of federal documents. The order came after trade negotiations between the U.S. and Canada failed to reach a resolution.
The NWS announced on Monday that work is underway to update its online maps, weather products, websites, and other materials. The agency is responsible for providing weather data and warnings of hazardous weather to protect the public.
Ever since the name change was announced, News10NBC has been getting reaction from community members, leaders, and businesses. Rochester City Council has signed a proclamation to keep using the name Lake Ontario, and over a dozen Monroe County legislators signed a letter opposing the name change. See our coverage:
