- Morden is located in the Pembina Valley.
- This name will help customers from the entire region feel welcome.

How many people entered?
We received 112 entries with very few duplications. The entries were sent to the Morden Chamber of Commerce and the Morden Tourism Marketing Team for thier top ten choices. Then the final top ten went to the MCDC for a final choice, making sure that the name could be registered. The final step is for the name to go to Council for their approval. The winner will then be announced.
