Tisdale drops town slogan “Land of Rape and Honey”
The town of Tisdale is rebranding.
The community of 3,000, located east of Prince Albert, will no longer be known as the ‘Land of Rape and Honey’ after council voted Tuesday to drop the controversial slogan.
“There was some that thought, it had been here for a long time, and was still OK, but the majority said it’s time for a change,” said Mayor Al Jelico.
A town survey conducted last spring found 57 per cent of residents were in favour of dropping the brand. Thirty-six per cent were against and seven per cent neutral.
