MULGRAVE, NS (Canada)
Design C1
X spot geographic in Town colours

This design is as Design B1 except the Mulgrave star is rotated 45 degrees to be like an X that has two meanings. One, in alignment with the flag’s geographic design, the X marks a spot like a treasure on a treasure map, suggesting prosperity is found here like the townspeople’s aspirations. And second, X is also a multiplier symbol that is even more of a symbol of prosperity than a “plus” sign. Multiplication is the shorthand for a lot of addition, after all.

REFERENCE
Mulgrave is Nova Scotia’s third least populated municipality at just 627 people in the 2021 census, in an area of 17.83 sq km or 6.88 sq miles. It is located on the west side shore of the Strait of Canso that separates the NS mainland from Cape Breton Island. The Canso Causeway bridged the Strait in 1955, leading to the decline of the town that was once port to the specially design Scotia ferry that carried train cars, and a railway hub that brought those train cars to and from Mulgrave. That ferry is the main visual in the Mulgrave logo (pic 2). First settled by British Loyalists fleeing the American Revolution in the late 1700s (est. 1800), on the Mi’kmaq First Nations “lobster grounds” of Wolumkwagagunutk, Mulgrave has seen lots of economic ups and downs, the last of which was a downturn in 1955. However, residents remain optimistic about their future and this optimism continues to grow today (Town website).
