Josie Jelly: The Donut That Ran for Mayor – A Tofino Tale for Brave Little Dreamers

In a town not so far from the sea (and with a lot of sprinkles), Josie Jelly isn’t just another donut in the case — she’s got heart, hustle, and a dream to make her town better. So, she decides to do something wild: run for mayor!
