MEDIA RELEASE
MUNICIPALITY OF CHESTER – The Municipality of Chester is kicking off their brand by inviting
residents to share what they love best about their community.
Following a community engagement process that included a workshop and survey, Chester
Municipal Council selected a final brandmark and tagline that most residents feel represents the
area, and they are ready to promote it.
The Municipality is a “perfect slice of Nova Scotia,” luring visitors and soon-to-be residents from
all over the world to experience the natural beauty and diverse landscape. The quality of lifestyle-
treasured by many - is tranquil, balanced and friendly. But, despite the simple lifestyle, the
Municipality of Chester is known as the “gateway to the South Shore,” indicating accessibility,
amenities, and a location that invites entrepreneurial spirit.
The riches found within the Municipality of the District of Chester are abundant, and it is time to
show it. The Municipality is asking residents to share their “happy place” or compose a favourite
memory. Send it to the Municipality in the form of a photograph or written story/poem and your
name will be entered to win. Winners will be announced on December 19, and submissions will
be compiled for publication.
Submit electronic photos and posts via Facebook (/ChesterMunicipality), Twitter (@chestermun),
Instagram (chestermuni), or email communications@chester.ca Don’t forget the hashtag
#loveMODC for a chance to win one of ten prize packs! Submissions will also be accepted at 151
