There’s always a super friendly atmosphere when each crop of Lady of the Lake candidates pay their annual visit to Lake Cowichan town council.

Organizers try to ensure the girls get lots of chances to speak a little in public at the start of the campaign season so the candidates get more comfortable.

Denise Allan of the Lady of the Lake Society brought the girls to council Tuesday, April 25.

There, even before the meeting, they got a chance to learn a little about local government and meet the councillors and the mayor.

Once the meeting started, each candidate stood up to briefly introduce and share a little-known fact about herself.

Then each of the girls received a Town of Lake Cowichan pin to add to their newly received banners.
