VICTORIA Oak Bay Mayor Kevin Murdoch has taken to social media to try to find a new, locally sourced desk for the Oak Bay municipal hall, which is set to undergo massive renovations. The mayor says he hopes to find a desk in the community that potentially has “some local history attached,” before he widens his search. “With the renovations of the municipal hall starting soon, the mayor’s office will have the wall cracks, floor stains, and ‘dusty rose’ textured wallpaper mercifully retired,” wrote Murdoch in the Facebook group, Oak Bay Local. “The current desk, a 1980’s vintage fake-wood laminate government special, will also be going,” he said. “Before the district goes out and purchases a new desk, I thought that there may be a nice older desk more suitable for the Office of the Mayor. Something substantial, perhaps with some local history attached, something that could stay with the office and be used by mayors for many decades to come.”
