Jewish group calls for Ontario town to rename street called Swastika Trail

A major Jewish advocacy group in Canada has stepped up efforts to help some residents of an Ontario town convince local politicians to rename a street currently called Swastika Trail.

B'nai Brith Canada started an online petition on Thursday calling on Puslinch Township, about 75 kilometres west of Toronto, to change the street name.

Residents ask to overturn town's decision to keep 'swastika' street name

Two residents of a southwestern Ontario town are asking a court to overturn the municipality's decision to keep the word "swastika" in the name of a local street, arguing the term is offensive to many.

The Township of Puslinch decided not to change the name of Swastika Trail in December after a group representing residents of the privately owned street voted in favour of maintaining the name.

Randy Guzar, who lives on Swastika Trail, and William Knetsch, who lives nearby, filed an application for judicial review this week, asking a court to quash the township's decision and the result of the vote by the Bayview Cottagers' Association.
