B.I.G.B.O.L.D. 2018 ad hocery

In 2018, on a bit of a whim, I ran for Saanich Council: teasing the idea in August, and declaring on Labour Day. It was the craziest (and fool-hardiest) thing I have ever done in my life, which is saying something.

Apparently, amazing graphic designer B Brophy thought Orange was the New Purple

So, I maintain that my initial inspiration was the London Underground (and LiveSmartBC) - but the District figured my logo was too similar to their own, so I was strongly encouraged to replace the logo (following dissemination of my first 1000 business cards, of course). So: in stepped my heroine extraordinaire, and future Planet Arcana podcaster extraordinaire, B.

P.S., B., for 2022 we need an update again: "Cities for Everyone" style housing on the left side of the urban containment boundary (remove two trees in Saanich, retain three trees in Saanich, and protect twenty-three trees on the westshore!)
