At least for now, banners and jerseys with indigenous symbols of the Elora Mohawks will not hang at the Jefferson Elora Community Centre.

Centre Wellington council voted in favour of a resolution to have authorized banners taken down with the exception of the of the Mohawks name and logo.

This comes as in 2019 the Ontario Human Rights Commission found the Elora Mohawks as a non indigenous sports organization using indigenous themes and logos.

In 2022, Centre Wellington Minor Lacrosse ending up changing their name from the Mohawks to the Riverhawks.
