Two Grade 9 students from Salmon Arm recently made waves in TofinoB次元官网网址檚 council chambers as they proposed a new flag design for the district.

In an email reviewed by the townB次元官网网址檚 municipal council on Nov. 28 the two students, who identified themselves as Anita and Katelyn, explained they have been studying the principles of flag design and learning what makes a good flag and chose TofinoB次元官网网址檚 flag for a redesign project.

B次元官网网址淲e were assigned to redesign municipal flags from around BC, and we chose Tofino because we have visited the town before and thought it was really pretty and a nice place to visit on vacation,B次元官网网址� the pair wrote.

They added that they appreciated TofinoB次元官网网址檚 current municipal flag, , but proposed their new design for councilB次元官网网址檚 consideration.

Coun. Al Anderson thanked the students for their design, but suggested a larger process would be needed if Tofino ever decided to change its municipal flag.

B次元官网网址淚 appreciate the industry and artistry of the young persons and their initiative to submit a flag design for Tofino. For their benefit, I would have to say that, if Tofino was going to change their flag, we would enter into a design competition or put a call out,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淚 think if we just accepted flags as they came in, weB次元官网网址檇 be changing flags fairly often in Tofino. But, I would like to express my appreciation for their initiative.B次元官网网址�

Coun. Ali Sawyer said the design was B次元官网网址渧ery niceB次元官网网址� and commended the studentsB次元官网网址� effort.

B次元官网网址淭hey put a lot of hard work into it, you can tell,B次元官网网址� she said.

Mayor Dan Law agreed.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 great. ItB次元官网网址檚 nice to think that Grade 9 students in Salmon Arm are thinking about our flag. ItB次元官网网址檚 wonderful. Thanks to Anita and Katelyn,B次元官网网址� he said.
