Apparently going to trial, being found guilty, sentenced and completed his punishment years prior wasn't good enough for some people. Pretty soon we'll be numbering and lettering our streets, until 11th Avenue is suddenly considered too straight.

Couldn't have said it better.

Is this the first time that a park or street commemorating a fallen military service member has been renamed in Canada due to that person's past actions?

The Ukrainian-Canadian VC winner Filip Konowal killed a man in a knife fight in Hull when he was a civilian. Instead of being found guilty, he was confined to an asylum ostensibly for his health. Or maybe he was told to go there, sit tight, and wait for the all-clear? He kept his VC and his dignity. It takes a really serious breach of the peace to have a VC taken away. Evidently that bar has been lowered considerably.
