tsutsiy
In 2017 shishalh Nation Elders Language group and the SCRD began a project to provide and/or translate SCRD park names into the shashishalhem (Sechelt language). Coopers Green Park is translated as tsutsiy.
Pronunciation: ts is like the sound in English represented by the combination –ts- in ‘cats’. u is pronounced like the o in English ‘go’. i sounds like the vowel in English ‘meet’. First syllable has strong stress.
The name tsutsiy was chosen by the shishalh Elders Language Group because of this parks small size (0.24 hectares/0.6 acres).
Meaning: little, small. (Sechelt Dictionary, Page 486)
