Ruby Seffern says she wants to protect the heritage of her family. The Seffernsville resident is looking to change the name of the community to Seffernville for historical reasons and to reflect the proper spelling. She wants the Municipality of Chester to persuade the Department of Transportation to correct the issue. Seffern says her and her son could be the only people in the area with the last name.However, the municipality is waiting for a community response before the issue can move ahead. Council would need a majority of the residents to be in favour of changing the community name. Council itself would also have to agree, and supporting evidence would have to support that a change is warranted. The information would then be forwarded to the province for decision.
