It’s out with the BC Liberals and in with BC United.
Former BC Liberal leader and now BC United leader Kevin Falcson unveiled the new BC United look Wednesday evening.
“This is a significant step toward what I know will be an extraordinary future for this province,” said Falcon. “BC United is way more than just a new name. We’re here to say to British Columbians: we will work relentlessly to make life better for you, and we will deliver. We’re laser-focused on results, not rhetoric. On competence and compassion, not mismanagement and neglect. On optimism and hope, not despair and division. We’re about taking on B.C.’s biggest challenges and seizing our greatest opportunities, so our kids, and their kids, can have the future they deserve.”
BC United has been registered as the party’s official name with Elections BC and the B.C. Legislature and all business and communications will now be conducted under this name. The name was suggested, selected and ratified by party members over the past year.
“We’re fresh, we’re invigorated, and we’re united in our common desire to build an incredible future,” said BC United Vice-President Caroline Elliott. “That’s what our new logo is all about. A stylized bridge symbolizes us coming together across diverse backgrounds and perspectives to genuinely improve people’s lives. And the vibrant tones play on our proud legacy colours, but with an exciting new emphasis on the bright future we know we can achieve together.”
“Fundamentally, we believe that with the right mix of leadership, competence and compassion, there is no problem too big to fix, and no vision too bold to strive for,” Falcon said. “United, we’ll build a prosperous economy that supports your family and provides the first-class public services you deserve. United, we’ll treat your hard-earned tax dollars respectfully, with an eye on real, measurable results. United, we’ll reflect the rich diversity of the public we seek to serve, thinking beyond the next election cycle to leave a better province for the next generation and the ones after that.”
