Ruth Howard was tasked with helping create a symbol for the Black candidates. Her first idea of a white dove was turned down. She returned and presented a new drawing of a black panther which the county embraced as their new symbol.

Thank you and Brampton City Council for your leadership on this, Mayor Brown. I hope all Canadian cities will join you and fill the vacuum of leadership we've seen from the federal government and opposition parties. @patrickbrownont – at Calgary, Alberta

If Canada’s big Cities can fund the #Bill21 challenge then we level the playing field.

The more I work with everyday, anonymous design in Canada, the more I am convinced that, bottom line, "Canadian Design" is a method of adaptation and retro-fitting. Case in point: the guitar getting repaired in the house right now is a Brasher.
