[edit] History

The Ontario provincial government imposed amalgamation of many municipalities in that province. The changes took effect in 1998, including the joining of rural townships of Elma and Wallace with the town of Listowel.[1]

Ontario Provincial Police currently provides law enforcement services in the community, through a satellite station in Listowel.[2]
