In this remarkable year of news, a note of thanks
CBC
We use this editor's blog to explain our journalism and what's happening at CBC News. You can find more blogs here.
We end 2021 much the way it began, with a rush to vaccination — in this case, boosters — as a surge of COVID-19 cases threatens to overwhelm Canada's health-care system and disrupt holiday plans.
It can feel a bit like Groundhog Day. We've seen this movie before, even if there are a few new plot twists like Omicron.
Yet the months in between have seen a number of remarkable stories and an extraordinary news cycle that will shape our future for years to come.
Though it's hard to think past the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic at times, remember these, to name just a few:
On behalf of all of us at CBC News, Current Affairs and Local, I want to thank you for trusting us to tell these stories each day.
Thank you also to the countless number of you who trusted us with your story and your voice whenever we approached with a microphone, camera, notebook, email, DM, or phone call. We can't do this job without you.
It is a privilege to do journalism in service to Canadians in times like this.
As the video says, we will be here for you in 2022.
