After a town hall meeting April 25, Mulmur council has agreed not to change the name of the township.
Due to a change in postal routes that resulted in everyone in the municipality being assigned a Mulmur, Ontario address, there was a suggestion that a name change to Town of Mulmur might be appropriate.
People attending the town hall meeting disagreed. Of the 80 or so people in attendance, most people stood in opposition to the name change.
Before the meeting, 62 people had submitted comments, with 42 saying they oppose the change. Twelve people were in support and the balance had no opinion.
“We try to make decisions on the will of the majority of the people so I said, you made it loud and clear what your thoughts are on this so we brought it to council and passed a motion to leave it the way it was,” said Mayor Paul Mills.
