BONUS EPISODE: Thousands of British Columbians Help CBC Choose "Best Symbol" for the Province

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with Justin McElroy, municipal affairs reporter for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation - the CBC - in Vancouver, British Columbia. McElroy recently led a public process over the airwaves to identify a symbol that best represents the province of British Columbia. Through a bracket and more than 500,000 votes during several weeks in July and August 2025, the effort generated interest and debate from Vancouver Island to the BC interior, and a single "best symbol" ultimately emerged victorious. CBC website with information about the symbol: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/orcas-british-columbia-best-symbol-1.7609551 CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via www.space101fm.org.
