Jumbo Glacier, British Columbia[edit]
- ... that the new municipality of Jumbo Glacier, British Columbia has a mayor and two councillors, but no residents?

Article is new enough, long enough and sourced. The hook is appropriate and cited. It occurs to me that a municipality named after a circus animal with a council but no residents might make for an April Fools Day hook if you can think of a suitably absurd hook. Cheers!

- Doesn't it have to have a cuss word in the hook to be in the April 1 queue? j/k. That's a possibility, I'll try suggest a funny hook soon (although you're 70% there with your comment). The Interior (Talk) 22:04, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- It's not named after a circus animal, but after a glacier named for a mountain which got its name from a mineral claim that was, yes, named for the famous circus animal. Not a direct connection, and with "glacier" in the name despite usually known as just "Jumbo" I don't get the joke or see how it might work.Skookum1 (talk) 15:22, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
