Have a safe and Happy New Year’s celebration

Posted by The CivicScene Team

Being that CivicScene is a one person operation, I have self-admittedly struggled to keep up with posting during the holidays, particularly with immediate family visiting from half way across the globe for a mere few weeks.

2010 will hopefully be the anecdote to that problem.

CivicScene will return in full force with a new regime of posts beginning on January 2, and a brand new set of expectations for additional lawsuit threats from fellow blogs, more insults from anonymous cowards, and a renewed vigour for covering municipal politics within Metro Vancouver and across Canada.

I wish all of you a very safe and Happy New Year.
