Name origin
As per the official naming policy at BC Names, the name Kermode Mountain was changed to Mount Kermode, as the latter format indicates a summit named for a person. Here the name is not directly in reference to the Kermode bear, but to the then-curator of the Provincial Museum, Francis Kermode, who was appointed to that position in 1904, serving until 1940, and for whom the Kermode bear was named.
