Children of Victoria invited to submit artwork for ‘Mayor for the Day’ contest

The City of Victoria is inviting children to submit their artwork for the Mayor for the Day Kids Colouring Contest. 

Kids aged 12 and under can see what it feels like to be the mayor for a day by colouring a sheet that is now available online and submitting it to the City. 

After submissions are closed, three participants will be selected at random to serve alongside Mayor Marianne Alto as mayor in early 2027. 

The winners will get to learn more about how their local government works and enjoy complimentary lunch with Mayor Alto.

The colouring sheets are available for pickup at Victoria City Hall can also be found online for printing via the City’s website.  

Entries must be handed in by Friday, November 27th by submitting them to the Public Service Centre at City Hall, which is open on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Those who want to mail their children’s entries in can do so by addressing the submission to: Victoria Election 2026 Kids Colouring Contest, City of Victoria, 1 Centennial Square, Victoria, BC, V8W 1P6.

All submitted artworks will then be put on display at City Hall in December.
