Taylor moves forward with plans for new district logo

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. – A new workshop group is soon to be tasked with creating a new logo for Taylor. 

The District of Taylor is moving forward with plans to replace the official logo by presenting the terms of reference for the new committee responsible for workshopping the change. 

During the January 14th committee of the whole meeting, councillors agreed to begin the process of replacing the district’s official logo. 

The process is expected to take several years of workshopping, and a new logo is not likely to be chosen until 2026. 

During the February 10th committee of the whole, Ryan Galay – chief administrative officer of the district – presented the new committee’s terms of reference for councillors to approve.

The terms of reference are an essential part of forming the committee, as they will guide the actions and decisions of said committee in achieving its intended purpose. 

The terms also stated the committee is tasked with reviewing and developing “a more current district logo that reflects the historical heritage of the community and provides a sense of place”. 

The committee will consist of five members, with at least one member being a councillor, and decisions when possible will be consensus-based. When not possible, options will be provided to the district council, who will then make the decision. 

Members appointed to the committee will be responsible for conducting research on developing a logo for Taylor, reporting to council with progress and feedback requests and carrying out any duties prescribed by the committee. 

With councillors not requesting any changes to the terms of reference during the committee of the whole meeting, district staff will present them again at the February 24th council meeting, where they can be formally approved.
