It has been the custom on the Canadian Magazines blog to arbitrarily tally some of the stories that were published during the year previous. They are not every story and may not even be the best or most important stories to you. Though I think the merger of the upstart Grands Prix awards of Magazines Canada with the venerable National Magazine Awards is pretty important. (fourth bullet in November.) And the passing of important colleagues such as Ruth Kelly (June) Prue Hemelrijk and Rick Campbell (October) and Lloyd Hodgkinson (April) are certainly milestones worth noticing. Every link takes you to a story.
