John Horgan died from cancer Tuesday. He was 65. The popular leader's death is being mourned in the community he hailed from and represented, with flags lowered to half-mast.
But an idea for a lasting tribute in the city is also gaining traction – naming the new university being built in downtown Langford after the man who gave so much to his community.
"I just wanted to make sure we're get out in front of this and we're able to make this happen,” said Stew Young, the former mayor of Langford and long-time friend of Horgan's.
"He was really instrumental in getting the university here, built in Langford.”
Young enlisted the help of Steve Rossander to design a mock-up of the John Horgan University of Langford and share it on social media.
"I said absolutely I'd be willing to help," Rossander told CTV News.
