January, 2012
Happy Yule, everyone. This newsletter’s going out a little early, as I’m again headed to Toronto, this time to make the big move from the house there.
So 2011 is about to hit the record books. It will be remembered here as a year of social upheaval (the Arab Spring, the Occupy Movement, the Harper Majority, the rise of the NDP and the death of Jack Layton). It was also a time of disasters (some associated with climate change): the Japanese tsunami and nuclear crisis, the arson-related Slave Lake wildfire, flooding on the Prairies, to name a few. On the brighter side, we saw the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton and the Canadian tour which followed.
Here’s some of what’s upcoming in 2012:
Lupercalia: Feb. 17-19 in Edmonton. Info: http://lupercalia-edmonton.com/
