The naming, renaming and dedication of Municipal Assets shall be the responsibility of the Council of the Township of Brock. Council may, at any time, direct that a specific name be used for a specific street, facility or park or element thereof. The intent of naming is for permanent recognition. The renaming of streets, parks and facilities is strongly discouraged as it significantly impacts numerous individuals, township departments and the community.
Process for Naming a Municipal Asset

- Application to be available on the Township website for direct submission to staff.
- Applications to be processed by appropriate departments.

If the application is approved by Council, the name shall be added to the Approved Name List and the Region of Durham shall be notified.
