municipality in Bruce County, Ontario, Canada

About Brockton (Ontario)

The municipality was formed in 1999, by amalgamating the former township of Brant, former township of Greenock and the town of Walkerton. Brockton's name was formed as a portmanteau of the names of three merged municipalities (Brant Greenock Walkerton). Many Canadians have heard of Walkerton because in May 2000, the water system in Walkerton became contaminated with the highly dangerous E. coli bacteria strain. Nearly half the population fell ill, and seven people died as a result.
