MULGRAVE, NS (Canada)
Design D1
Mulgrave star in Town colour Canadian pale

The Mulgrave star is in blue to stand out from the gold and white that forms the Canadian pale in this most standard of Canadian municipality design. However, in a traditional province like Nova Scotia, it might ultimately have the best chance at adoption.

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).
