Province of British Columbia In 1863 Trutch's sister, Caroline Agnes Trutch, married Peter O'Reilly and in 1870, Trutch's brother John married the sister of the colonial governor Anthony Musgrave. Trutch and Musgrave became close. Following the establishment of the Canadian Confederation in 1867 they worked together to negotiate British Columbia's entry, which occurred in 1871 after they secured a promise for the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). Trutch was the first Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia following Confederation, a position he retained from 1871 to 1876. Following his tenure as lieutenant governor, Trutch was appointed a "Dominion agent for British Columbia", and helped to oversee the construction of the CPR in the province. He left this office in 1890 and returned to England. He died there in 1904 in Somerset, the county of his birth. Legacy The locality of Trutch, British Columbia () along the Alaska Highway, is named after Joseph Trutch. The location is now a ghost town. In 2007, a panel of historians hired by The Beaver included Trutch in their list the ten worst Canadians in history. Streets in Vancouver, Victoria and Richmond used to be named after him. There are plans to rename a street in Chilliwack bearing his name. A student residence building named for Trutch at the University of Victoria was renamed in 2017 because of his actions related to Indigenous peoples. A residential street in the Kitsilano neighborhood of Vancouver was originally named Trutch Street until a decision in 2021 to rename the street with a Musqueam name due to Trutch's anti-indigenous policies. On September 30, 2022, the second annual Day of Truth and Reconciliation, Musqueam gifted the new name "Musqueamview Street" () to the city of Vancouver. In May 2022, a residential street in Richmond, British Columbia, was similarly renamed from Trutch Avenue to Point Avenue due to the racism and injustice associated with Trutch, the first lieutenant-governor of British Columbia, and to honour the 28th lieutenant-governor of British Columbia, Steven Point. On July 11, 2022, Trutch Street in Victoria, British Columbia was renamed to Su'it Street. The name, in the language of the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations, Lekwungen, means Truth. This was after a unanimous vote in February 2022 by
