Essex Continues Re-Branding Efforts

The Town of Essex has a new flag.

The mostly white flag features the town's new logo, four waves of colour which represent four wards, and the slogan: "Where you belong."

Director of Corporate Services Donna Hunter says, "we wanted something to say our community belongs together and each one of us belong in the community, and that's basically what we want to do, is show unification."

She explains the new signage still needs to be put up at entrances to the town, along with directional signs around the county, as part of the town's re-branding process.
