Mayor Murdock announces Holiday Card contest winner 

Saanich, BC – It wasn’t easy, but Saanich Mayor Dean Murdock has selected the big winner of the Mayor and Council’s Holiday Card design contest! Congratulations to Charlotte, a grade 4 student from Saanich.

“We were thrilled to receive more than 70 entries — and each one was creative, fun and really put us in the festive spirit,” says Murdock. “Charlotte’s magical snow globe design really captured our attention. It was bright and beautiful artwork that we’re so pleased to feature on our holiday cards this year.”

 

Charlotte’s winning design.

Charlotte will receive a special prize for her efforts, in addition to a signed holiday card from the Mayor. The District will also feature her design in an upcoming holiday social media post, so the entire community can enjoy it.

“Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their work with us, and to the parents and caregivers who helped submit their entries,” adds Murdock. “We plan to make this contest an annual tradition, and we look forward to seeing all the creative submissions again next year.”
