Research Notes

The Place Name Suggestions for Elmvale (1925) comes up as "Elmvale, Springwater, Simcoe, Ontario, Canada". This is incorrect. Flos township amalgamated with Vespra township, to form the municipality of Springwater in 1994. ^[4] The correct Place Name is "Elmvale, Flos, Simcoe, Ontario, Canada"
