As part of our 2nd anniversary show next Thursday, we are asking listeners to vote for story of the year.
And a prize package- ok 2 books and maybe a keychain- will be awarded one voter (drawn at random) from the responses we get. Please email talk@kick.fm with your vote before Noon on November 20th.
Here are some suggested nominees, if there is a story or issue we covered you would like added to the list we will do so (* denotes story broken by TGCTS):
Young Joshs' look into The Derelict Buildings bylaw, * flaws and all
