Application for a Name Bank Submission Introduction Are you interested in having a street, park or Town facility named after someone who has made a significant contribution to our community, province or country? Or, perhaps you have a suggestion for a name that has historical, community, geographical, ecological, functional or commemorative value to Milton residents. Members of the public are invited to submit names to be considered for the Town of Milton Name Bank.

This application form should not be used for submitting names associated with organizations, corporations or businesses. These names, as well as names that that do not meet any of the currently approved naming criteria, may be considered for donor/sponsorship opportunities, offered by the Town of Milton.
