the best place in the city, on the seawall past the lions gate bridge, when the full ocean opens up and the pavement bends out of view a world of possibilities, just waiting to be explored -30-

Alright, it’s time to wrap things up. I’ll be getting on a train to Toronto at 3pm, and at about 3:15 a friend will be changing my Twitter password and locking me out of here for a year. But if you want to follow along on my travels, here’s where to find me.

I might do some TikToks, but I might not! I like sharing what I see and learn, but for the first time in 16 years I’m under no professional obligation to do so. I’m excited and curious to see the ways I change or not during this trip, and that includes how much I’m online.

I think that about covers it. I am so grateful for all the kind words from people, and look forward to once again reporting on this fascinating city and province in a year from now. I will miss this place dearly. But I can’t wait for the journey to come.

nobody: me: the thing about the turn at the seawall past the lions gate bridge is the vastness of the ocean suddenly appears, and the road turns to the left without a hint of where it’s going next a world of possibilities

radar says it’ll be a little bit until it rains again and I’ve only got 50 hours until the train leaves so guess what it’s seawall time baby

lol park board still gonna be alive when i return

#Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim’s confidence in quick provincial action to abolish Vancouver’s elected park board appears to have been misplaced: we've learned the BC Gov told Sim's office this week there will be no action on this before the Fall election NEW: vancouversun.com/news/local-…

So with @j_mcelroy gone for a year, does that make me the Harrison guy on Twitterx? Do I have to do charts? No one told me there would be charts.

In the six years doing the newsletter we managed to cover 73% of B.C.'s municipalities. So much of that was because of hardworking journalists across this province, and it was a privilege reading their work and crediting it every week.
