Brechin, Ontario, Canada needs correction

LaurelHarrington1

In the database, Brechin, Ontario, Canada is listed as being Brechin, Durham, Ontario, Canada. Brechin is now part of Simcoe County, not Durham Region, and this needs to be updated. In 1975, the townships of Rama and Mara in Ontario County (Durham), became part of Simcoe. Brechin was located in Mara Township at that time.

Ontario County was dissolved upon the formation of the Regional Municipality of Durham in 1974, and both townships were transferred to Simcoe County. As part of the municipal restructuring of Simcoe County, Mara and Rama Townships were reamalgamated to form Ramara in 1994.
