2016: My Year in Review
Another year has come and gone - 2016 seemed to have gone by in a flash! I met so many great people, spent time with friends and family, travelled to conferences and conventions, joined a life-changing book club, read a ton of books and had a lot of fun! Let's take a look at 2016. January We had a bit of a break following the federal election in October 2015 but that all started again, when I went our and canvassed a couple of time for Melanie Mark, our now MLA for Vancouver Mount Pleasant. My most favourite memory of door-knocking came when I came upon an apartment suite whose door was adorned with a an "Awreatha Franklin" - a wreath of photos of Aretha Franklin. Hilarious. And so proud to know so many people who were involved with her campaign. I was especially inspired by CUPE 1004's work on the DTES where they set up tables for residents to register to vote for the first time by providing lawyers to ok people if they didn't have proper ID.
